Time Is The Key (album)
"Time Is The Key" is a 1979 album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong. Allan plays a nice, jagged guitar solo on “Arabesque Intro & Arabesque”, which are joined as a single track on the digital release. The track is a one chord fusion piece. Allan’s solo section is somewhat avantgarde harmonically. Allan plays a somewhat uninspired solo on the fusion vamp “Esnuria Two”, which uses a pitch shifter for an unusual steel drum type sound. Allan is credited with lead guitar on “Time Is The Key”, but is not audible on the track. Overall, this album is not nearly as inspired as anything on the "Gazeuse" album.
