5 stars Ever since I heard this album, it was more than ten years ago. The first impression of the album was fair to middling. Although, as I could think of then when I was about ten years old. Hah, it was too loud and incomprehensible for my ears. But! Eventually, I began to catch memorable moments. The first song I loved with the first time was 'A House With No Door'. One of the best they (the band) have ever made! It sounds so soft and a bit sad with a dark atmospheric background that I classify it as a 'Space Rock'. Another 'Space Rock' theme is "Pioneers Over C". Name of the song speaks for itself. I really liked poetic size of the lyrics and the unique voice of Peter Hammill. His psychedelic singing here is just outstanding! No matter how much I listen to this song, it still kills me outright. 'Killer' has always frightened me with its dark and tense atmosphere, but now it sounds really cool for my ears. Just listen to Mr. Hammill's singing! Colorful aggression with breathtaken lyrics makes me shudder (with delight, of course) with every time. 'Emperor...' and 'Lost' are no less masterpiece. The first one even my favorite song by VDGG and the second - one of my favorite lyrical perfomance. Undoubtedly, 'H to He...' one of the most progressive albums of 'Classic Era'. Dynamic, sophisticated and at the same time a little prosaic and lyrical album. Excellent addition to every prog rock music collection! 4,9/5.
