Time is the Key is the fourth album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong. It was released in late 1979 by Arista Records.[2]

Featuring an all-instrumental jazz-driven sound, notable for the prominent use of vibraphone, it has little to do with the psychedelic space rockofDaevid Allen's Gong, even though the two bands share a common history.

It features the English jazz keyboard player Peter Lemer on most tracks, their only album to do so, and Allmusic notes that there is also a progressive rock influence on the album, especially on the first two track.[1]
