Digitally remastered edition of Van Der Graaf Generator's 1976 album that saw lead singer/songwriter Peter Hammill taking a few grand chances with the extended "Childlike Faith In Childhood's End" and the simply gorgeous "My Room (Waiting For Wonderland)". This edition includes a live bonus track recording of "Gog".
Van der Graaf Generator: Peter Hammill (vocals, guitar); David Jackson (saxophone); Hugh Banton (keyboards); Guy Evans (drums).
VDGG's second step on the mid-'70s comeback trail saw Peter Hammill attempting to meld the introspective and the cosmic throughout, though this did not stop him from taking a dead run at a grandiose concept or two -- the consequences of immortality on the title track, and the grand fate of humanity on the epic "Childlike Faith in Childhood's End." The theme of humane cooperation informs the opening "Pilgrims," while "La Rossa" is an epic tale of desire fulfilled (a story that would be concluded on Hammill's solo album, Over). The true highlight, however, is the beautiful, pensive "My Room (Waiting for Wonderland)," with its echoes of imagination and loss. Hammill did not achieve such a level of painful beauty again until "This Side of the Looking Glass" on Over. ~ Steven McDonald

Re-forming no less than 27 years after the band last broke up, Van Der Graaf Generator were never going to put together the usual kind of reunion record. For a start, the reunion itself is largely in the eye of the beholder -- various permutations of the band have played together on a number of occasions over the past three decades, which means that it's their own understanding of what the Van Der Graaf Generator name signifies that dominates this album, rather than any of the motives and moods that normally dictate such affairs. The fact that this understanding dovetails exquisitely with the group's own reputation and legend should not surprise listeners. Messrs. Hammill, Jackson, Banton, and Evans have safeguarded their own chemistry well, and, from the opening swirl of "Every Bloody Emperor," it is clear that the void between "then" and "now" has neither dented nor tarnished the uniqueness of the VDGG sound. It is remarkable that, of all the idols and icons of the '70s whose influence has been spread across the last few ...

All songs written by Peter Hammill, except "Out Of My Book" (Hammill/Jackson).
Peter Hammill has always had an abiding interest, it seems, in the blurred boundary between the mystical and the scientific, and between the rational and magical mind; this is certainly evident on the debut Van Der Graaf Generator album, even though Hammill had yet to really begin focusing himself on what it was that was driving him ...

$14.35 
Van Der Graaf Generator includes: Hugh Banton, Guy Evans, Peter Hamill, David Jackson.
Additional personnel: Robert Fripp (electric guitar).
Van Der Graaf Generator's third album, Pawn Hearts was also its second most popular; at one time this record was a major King Crimson cult item due to the presence of Robert Fripp on guitar, but Pawn Hearts has more to offer than that. The opening track, "Lemmings," calls to mind early Gentle Giant, with its eerie vocal passages (including harmonies) set up against extended sax, keyboard, and guitar-driven instrumental passages, and also with its weird keyboard and percussion interlude, though this band is also much more contemporary in its focus than Gentle Giant. Peter Hammill vocalizes in a more traditional way on "Man-Erg," against shimmering organ swells and Guy Evans' very expressive drumming, before the song goes off on a tangent by way of David Jackson's saxes and some really ...

Finding My Way - This CD has been all about Finding My Way, at first I was trying to find the confidence to actually do something with a song I wrote. Luckily, I was singing at a wedding and a friend said, "Robyn, I'd buy a CD of that song." Well fate answered and I ran into a former student of mine who was trying to break into the record producing business. I'd had the song floating ...
