<p>Zero the Hero is the mythological character central to the musical trilogy &quot;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gong_(band)#Mythology" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Radio Gnome Invisible</a>&quot; by the UK-based-European-enhanced psychedelic progressive rock band <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gong_(band)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gong</a>.</p>
<p>I am a fan of the trilogy, which contains masterpieces such as <a href="https://youtu.be/VXhb0vsgfZE?t=204" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Isle of Everywhere</a>. The album “You” was ranked by <a href="https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/37519-gong-you.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rolling Stones as 38th best prog rock album of all times</a>. I also quite like some later percussion-oriented albums, as such <a href="https://youtu.be/n79CgUA8-hI?t=541" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Time is the Key</a>.</p>
<p>For good measure I'm also a fan of the Gong-inspired band
<a href="https://youtu.be/TXzdxp3JKMw?t=214" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ozric Tentacles</a>, of
jazz-fusion style (see this clip of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtIzsleHQiU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Stratus</a> by Billy Cobham with Novecento), some of the work by Steve Reich (especially <a href="https://youtu.be/ZXJWO2FQ16c?t=298" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Music for 18 Musicians</a>) and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzBhYMvnMKQ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vocal music</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Ockeghem" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ockenghem</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSeFAKwdsmA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Josquin des Prez</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZI9oUSHdZI" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Thomas Tallis</a> .</p>
