PAWN HEARTS

Holy smokes these guys are odd. But oddity is a key ingredient in creativity. And Hammill and the gang accomplished something substantially great here. Every track is slick and layered with heavy, dark atmospheres and fantastic musicianship. Lyrically it is absolutely fantastic. Lighthouse Keepers is a real journey, and Man-Erg never disapoints. The bonus tracks are good, but nothing is essential there. I find this album one of the most captivating series of sounds available to man. I'm sure hundreds of other proggies can agree with me there. So if you're new to prog, new to Van Der Graaf, or if you're reading this and haven't heard this album, than get on amazon and order it! I promise you a thrill ride of emotional proportions.
