I am terribly terribly excited about this. Alas, I can't make it to any
of the concerts but if this reunion lasts as much as it promises to
then I have very high hopes of being able to in the future...
Fingers crossed, eh? |

Guys , I got this album last friday. It is awesome!!!!! I got goosebumps all over when I heard Hammill's voice starting behind Jackson's sax. Both CDs are short (less than 40 min each) but I paid 14.00 Euros ($18.00). The first album is of real songs , the second is more improvisations. The Electric guitar is fairly present but not overshadowing the rest. I also had Magma album K. A. . Also super worthy of their legend. Those two albums made me forget my disillusions on the old dog threads. JUMP for those two. |

Both my local record shops had the album in Saturday but refused to sell to to me - today is the official release day - because both stores are linked to the computer that compiles the British pop charts................. Try again today! |

I will maybe sound Brutish towards the British , but this Britsih charts and the weekly tabloid press is a real pain. I hate NME!!!! I also hated Melody Maker and had a better feeling for Sounds but sometimes they were off the bat, too! Too bad out of those 3 , only the trashiest survived! BTW, it is the first time I bought a CD with the anti-copy thing and IT SUCKS!!!!!! Edited by Sean Trane |

That's what you get for dealing with filthy internet retailers. HA HA! To be fair, I have no money, so it'll be a while before I get my copy, but I have every intention of doing so. Just been plugging VDGG in an article for my student newspaper. Oh yeah! |

Heh! well Amazon have depatched mine 
. I had to use an internet site anyway because none of the cd stores in
my town would get VDGG unless they ordered it for me off the
internet..so defeats the object really...oh and it saves me some
money too  |

Hey guys ! I bought it last saturday. Man erg is absolutely right, the old power is still there. if you like the second period (still life, godbluff), you'll probably like this one. They still sound the way they used to and that's fantastic. one cd is full of improvisations, the other contents real songs, they're both awesome ! |

I'm finishing the very first spin of CD one and... it seems GREAT!!! I don't know about CD2 yet. The copy control technology is giving me some pain (a lot of funny noises when I tried to play it in my portable CD). It's "funny" to read on the rear part of the CD that "on some equipment, for example car CD players playback problems can be encountered". So they are selling a defective product? But the protection is nothing that a boy can't break: I mean, I'm not a computer expert, and both CDs are already ripped in high quality mp3 into my computer, and I also ripped them as WAV to get a copy for my car... am I a criminal for this?

You're all making me very sad. Lately especially I've been heavilly into Van der Graaf, and the idea of new material exites me incredibly, but I don't have it, and it sounds so good! ARGH!
