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! |

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. |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

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? |

Just listened to track one, sounding pretty promising. Hammill's voice sounds a lot better than I was expecting.

good news indeed, but lets not be that excited, there have been many cases in which this situations have ended in deep disappointments, lets wait and hear |

I love VdGG but I have my reservations for celebration. Can these old geezers still release anything as intense as Pawn Hearts and Godbluff? I hope the music they make doesn't cause a pock mark to appear on an otherwise good catalogue of music. Please maintain the integrity guys!! |

Sounds premium. I wonder what they'll sound like, ie. what period
of the band it'll bear most resemblence to, or if it'll be entirely
different. Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

I can't wait. If it's half as good as any previous VDGG album,it will be better than anything else released in 2005.

I know I'm excited. I think the band's fantastic even though I only have Pawn Hearts and a few MP3s!
