4 stars In one word - excellent

VDGG is one of the most intresting and demanding band from progressive rock realm that no doubt about it, with Peter Hammill holding one of the most beautiful and haunting voices ever to be heared in this realm, with their third offer H to He, Who Am the Only One is no diffrent, they remains among the ginats of the gewnre untill today. The album released in 1970 at famous Charisma label the second VDGG album from same year is a totaly winner to my ears, when I hear pieces like Killer and specially House With No Door everything turns to pure magic. Little better in passages as previous one, but keeping the same attitude as on The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other, Peter Hammill and co done a great and unforgetable job here. Every musician shines on every pieces, haunting vocal parts all over, all is top notch. It is very surprising to see across the years how this band despite their enormous talent and inovation brought in prog rock zone they remaining in the shadow of names like Genesis, Pink Floyd or Yes. Is strange isn't it. So, this album must be held high when we talk about pioneers of prog rock music. One of the most intresting and catchy albums from their discography and among their best from their first phase. recommended for sure, 4 stars easy.
