No progressive rock band could ever be said to be a household name,
but Van der Graaf Generator, who celebrated their fiftieth
anniversary in 2018, rarely enjoyed that distinction even in the
households of many prog fans. VdGG, and the band's main creative
force, Peter Hammill, only really had one foot in prog - the other
pivoted between more straight-ahead rock, wild experimentation, and
at times, brutal noise. While VdGG's initial run ended prematurely,
the band eventually came full-circle, reforming in 2005 and still
going strong. Both Hammill and VdGG have been lauded as musicians'
musicians by such luminaries as Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Julian
Cope, Mark E. Smith, and Johnny Rotten. This book will explore what
these musicians, and legions of dedicated fans, found so inspiring
over the years: all of the VdGG albums, including Pawn Hearts and
Godbluff as well as several solo Hammill albums crucial to the VdGG
story, are discussed in these pages, including a handful of
essential live recordings, experiments, and collaborations. Nothing
like this analysis of the band has been published before, and this
book will prove an invaluable guide for navigating the Van der
Graaf Generator sonic labyrinth.
