Whether traditionally melodic and harmonic or harsh and dissonant,
whether rythmically straightforward or or odd, VDGG is always extremely
MUSICAL!

I always loved besides Pawn Hearts also H To He. I think IT is what Petra is searching for - very powerful and dynamic tracks IMO, eg. Pioneers Over C, Emperor In His War Room. If my memory doesn't fail me, this album was the first that made me fell in love with VDGG.

I started on VDGG with Pawn Hearts... and it didn't work out particularly well. I listened to it 5-10 times, but couldn't really get into it. Determined not to be discouraged, I tried out Godbluff... and I was hooked on that right away. Following a pile of listens to Godbluff, I went back, listened to Pawn Hearts and quickly fell in love with that one too. It was like the music suddenly made more sense after I listened to Godbluff. Now, I'm a big fan of the band.

So, my advice would be to start off with Godbluff. That's what worked for me, at least.
