I was just going to point that one out. Omar sounds a lot like Steve Howe sometimes, and parts of the jam section of Cassandra Geminni seriously remind me of Gates and Sound Chaser.

I think Jeff Buckley is a strong influence.  Not only because the singer sound like him, but the wild emotion of the music.

I hear some punk band influences as well! Pistols and some early Clash.

When I listened to Francis The Mute, I sensed a lot of King Crimson influence, particularly some of the guitar parts and the sections with saxophones on Cassandra Gemini.

Also, I read that Omar started on bass but moved to guitar because he needed more strings to express himself.

When I interviewed John Frusciante (of Red Hot Chili Peppers) for the Van der Graaf Generator book I co-wrote < http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/095513370X/qid%3D11 37093693/sr%3D8-1/ref%3Dpd%5Fka%5F1/026-4456074-1492463  > we were talking about VdGG's H to He and JF said that when he guested on MV's 'De-Loused' cd, he and Omar did this double guitar thing that reminded JF of Fripp's double lead on 'Emperor' from the H to He album. He mentioned it to Omar and Omar knew exactly what he was talking about and agreed. So, it's probably safe to say that MV (or at least Omar) are VdGG fans (John even mentioned that they were).
