Após a saída do fundador Daevid Allen, o grupo Gong passou por uma rápida série de mudanças de pessoal, com o baterista/percussionista Pierre Moerlen se tornando o líder de fato. A música evoluiu do som psicodélico da era liderada por Allen para a fusão jazz/rock. Quando Expresso II (1978) foi gravado, Moerlen já tinha montado um grupo quase totalmente diferente, com um som muito diferente. Com a conclusão do contrato do Gong com a Virgin Records, o nome do grupo foi alterado para Pierre Moerlen's Gong para diferenciá-lo das outras ramificações do Gong e da banda original.
Pierre Moerlen's Gong lançou quatro álbuns pela Arista Records entre 1979 e 1981 (Downwind, Time Is The Key, Live e Leave It Open), que são amplamente considerados seus clássicos. A banda tinha um som distinto dominado pelo uso pesado de instrumentos de marimba (marimba, xilofone, vibrafone e glockenspiel) tocados principalmente por Pierre Moerlen, seu irmão Benoit Moerlen e François Causse. Depois de ser dispensado por Arista, a banda se separou.
Pierre Moerlen (Born: 23 October 1952, Colmar, Haut-Rhin – Died: 3 May 2005, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, near Strasbourg) was a French drummer and percussionist, best known for his work with Gong, Pierre Moerlen's Gong and Mike Oldfield.
