Gazeuse!

Gazeuse! (French for 'Sparkling!', 'Fizzy!' or 'Effervescent!') is the de facto first album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong, released in late 1976. The title was changed to Expresso for the U.S. release.

The album features an all-instrumental jazz-driven sound, notable for the prominent use of mallet percussion, which has little to do with the psychedelic space rock of Daevid Allen's Gong, even though the two bands share a common history. Although the album was issued by Virgin Records under the "Gong" name for contractual reasons, and the name "Pierre Moerlen's Gong" would not be adopted for a couple of years, the lineup involved and the nature of the music are that of the Moerlen-led band.

Writing credits are split between Moerlen and journeyman guitarist Allan Holdsworth, except the for final track, which is by early Magma and Flying Teapot bassist Francis Moze.
