Children of the Bong were formed in 1993 by British duo, Rob Henry and Daniel Goganian. Influenced by early 90s club and festival scenes, they fused dub bass lines & FX with funk breakbeats and fiery acid melodies, packaged around lush ambient soundscapes and analogue powered psychedelia.
Suitably signed to Planet Dog records in 1994, the pair extensively toured the UK and Europe with a live show that included DJ Marin (Nick Trim), who’s turntable antics added another layer to the spaced out interludes and all-out crescendos. That year saw ‘Symbol i’ released on the label’s Feed Your Head Vol. 2 compilation then later, ‘Ultrascope’ & ‘Ionospheric State’ appeared on one side of Quadraped Vol.1
The following year, they were packed off to the Welsh mountains armed with equipment borrowed from label mates Banco de Gaia along with producer/engineer Andy Guthrie (100th Monkey); to finish the album that was to become Sirius Sounds.
This was to be the only album the pair released as they split in 1996 to pursue other projects. Rob went on to form Euphonic with Nick Trim and released their self titled album - now re-released as ‘Low Orbit Archives’ on Banoffee Pies records. Daniel created a few more tracks under Children of the Bong that appeared on the Mashed Mellow Grooves compilation.
All tracks released on Planet Dog along with alternative versions, demos and remixes appear alongside a complete live set performed in 1995 in the remastered, ‘Sirius Sounds Expanded’ version.
