Hi Rick and thanks for your (non-)writings.

"The Glorious Om Riff" isn't found on Gong's Flying Teapot, which is the first LP in the Gong trilogy, nor on Angel's Egg, but on the third album, namely YOU, as well as on Steve Hillage's solo production.

I don't know if AMT's keyboardist Cotton Casino is on their current tour, but she's sgill a prolific artist , musically on her Monkey Revolution home-based record label and as a painter . Check out her art if you haven't yet, it's a treat.

Meanwhile, keep up the good (non-) work !

Thanks for the correction Antoine. Here's info from the Wikipedia entry for the album YOU ...

Lead guitarist Steve Hillage remade "Master Builder" as "The Glorious Om Riff" on his 1978 album "Green".

Japanese psych-rock band Acid Mothers Temple also frequently cover "Master Builder", entitled "Om Riff", and have released 2 full albums dedicated to album-length renditions of the song: 2005's "IAO Chant From The Cosmic Inferno" and 2012's "IAO Chant From The Melting Paraiso Underground Freak Out".
