The foreboding crawl of the Hammond organ is what made Van Der Graaf Generator one of the darkest and most engrossing of all the early progressive bands. On H to He Who Am the Only One, the brooding tones of synthesizer and oscillator along with Peter Hammil's distinct and overly ominous voice make it one of this British band's best efforts. Kicking off with the prog classic "Killer," an eight minute synthesized feast of menacing tones and threatening lyrics, the album slowly becomes shadowed with Van Der Graaf's sinister instrumental moodiness. With superb percussion work via Guy Evans, who utilizes the tympani drum to its full extent, tracks like "The Emperor in His War-Room" and "Lost" are embraced with a blackened texture that never fades. The effective use of saxophone (both alto and tenor) and baritone from David Jackson gives the somberness some life without taking away any of the instrumental petulance. H to He is carpeted with a science fiction theme, bolstered by the bleak but extremely compelling use of heavy tones and the absence of rhythms and flighty pulsations. This album, which represents Van Der Graaf in their most illustrious stage, is a pristine example of how dark progressive rock should sound. ~ Mike DeGagne

$9.69
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 ...

Born and raised at the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest, Kevin Abernathy grew up on a heavy diet of country, gospel, bluegrass and 'coliseum rock'. An older cousin visiting from Florida one summer played a record album called Frampton Comes Alive and from there Kevin knew the path he would take. When he was eleven he asked for a guitar for Christmas, instead he received a hockey video game which he immediately traded for his first guitar and amp. Kevin locked himself in his bedroom everyday after school, donned in headphones and concert t-shirts striking rock star poses, learning Van Halen and Jeff Beck solo's until his eyes crossed and strings blurred from sleepiness. He would often wake, guitar still in his arms, late for school where he was perpetually distracted from homework due to an over active imagination and an abundance of melodies swirling in his mind. After high school graduation Kevin boarded a greyhound bus bound for California. He landed in the Bay Area where he joined One, a pop rock combo that open for such acts as Night Ranger and the sixties band Blue Cheer. Times were tough on the west coast where Kevin took to a streak of bohemia, sleeping on couches, in ...
