H TO HE, WHO AM THE ONLY ONE

The music and lyrics on VDGG's third album are deliciously dark. Feeling a tad depressed?? Just listen to this masterpiece-in a Black Room of course-and you'll be wondering what goes on in Peter Hammills head. With words like these I am sort of surprised the guy never ended up being a rock casualty. The music is stunning.soundscapes galore, Hugh Banton is at his absolute best on this,superb organs oscillators etc, he even plays bass on a couple of tracks. The sci fi feel on H to He is clever, allegoric to the minds workings. I am still not sure if Pioneers over c is really about time travel, or did the hero/ antihero just fall down in his brain. This LP led me to buy everything VDGG have recorded, thus it gets 5 stars.
