(2 Customer Reviews)
Most fans thought it would never happen. But Guy Evans, David Jackson, Hugh Banton and Peter Hammill have reunited as Van der Graaf Generator. This is not a nostalgic reunion to relive past glories, but a coming together of new experiences and fresh perspectives for the creation of new music as well as new live performances, the rebirth of a phoenix! During the studio sessions the muse was so generous that the result was 16 new Van der Graaf works spread out over a double CD. Present is being released by Virgin/EMI who have resurrected the Charisma label for the occasion. ''One CD consists of the songs/structured pieces which we consciously rehearsed - 'Every Bloody Emperor,' 'Boleas Panic,' 'Nutter Alert,' 'Abandon Ship!,' 'In Babelsberg' and 'On the Beach.' The second CD features an hour's worth of improvisations. These have always been a feature of Van der Graaf playing and are quite whacky.... I recommend taking these at about a half an hour at a time-it's really like being locked in the room with us.' - PH. EMI. 2005.

| | Gentle Giant Free Hand CD (1975) Anniversary Edition; 35th Anniversary Edition
Present
$10.69 The follow-up to 1974's surprisingly well-received THE POWER & THE GLORY, Gentle Giant's FREE HAND marks the pinnacle of the British prog-rock group's international success. (Like its predecessor, it appeared on the U.S. charts.) While the band's eccentricities--complex song structures, strange vocal harmonies--are present, these tunes are framed in a slightly more pop-conscious way, as on the funky, elastic title track. The ensemble also indulges in its occasional penchant for medieval music on the jaunty "Talybont," arguably making this the archetypal Gentle Giant album.
Additional Tracks
Recorded at Advision Studios, London, England in April, 1975.
Gentle Giant: Derek Shulman (vocals, saxophones, recorders), Ray Shulman (bass, vocals), Kerry Minnear (keyboards, vocals), Gary Green (guitars, recorders), John Weathers (drums, vocals).
| | Gentle Giant Power & The Glory CD (1974) Anniversary Edition
Present
$11.19 One of Gentle Giant's most successful albums, 1974's THE POWER & THE GLORY managed to sneak briefly into the U.S. charts, an unusual feat for the lauded, but never terribly popular, U.K. prog-rock band. Though the record is considered "accessible" by Gentle Giant standards, it is filled with the group's trademark break-neck time changes and bizarre vocal harmonies (the restless "Cogs in Cogs") with occasional moments of relative quiet (the serene passages of "Aspirations") rounding out the strangely fascinating proceedings.
Additional Tracks
Gentle Giant: Ray Shulman (vocals, violin, bass guitar); Kerry Minnear (vocals, cello, keyboards); Derek Shulman (vocals, saxophone); John Weathers (vocals, drums, percussion); Gary Green (guitar).
Recording information: Advision Studios, London, England (12/1973 - 01/1974).

| | Van Der Graaf Generator Trisector CD (2008)
Present
$12.09 Following on from the 2005 album 'Present', Van Der Graaf Generator have put together a brand new album that will be released on 17th March 2008 titled 'Trisector'. Van Der Graaf Generator now a stripped-down trio of original 1968 members Hugh Banton (organ), Guy Evans (drums) and Peter Hammill (vox, guitar, piano), made a storming return to live performance in the spring of 2007. The band started recording their new album in July 2007, after a period of mixing and overdubbing 'Trisector' is now ready for release. There are nine pieces on the album, one of them instrumental. Unusually for VDGG, only one of these is more than ten minutes long - indeed, five come in at under five minutes. There are, of course, passages of great complexity but there's also a confidence about the group which allows them to leave some simple things as they are.
The second album from Van Der Graaf Generator's early aughts' "comeback" period, TRISECTOR finds the band utterly confounding both longtime fans and newbies with a bizarre mix of prog rock and avant garde--in other words, business as usual. VDGG has made a career of exploring the most bizarre reaches of the prog scene and this record is no exception. From the decidedly funky (!) surf-guitar laden groove of the opening instrumental, "Hurly Burly," to the brain-frying 7/4 organ pattern and otherworldly Peter Hammill vocal vibrato of "(We Are) Not Here," the group once again invites (some would say demands) listeners to expect the unexpected.
Van Der Graaf Generator: Guy Evans, Hugh Banton, Peter Hammill.
