Every Album, Every Song

Soporte

No progressive rock band could ever be said to be a household name, but Van der Graaf Generator, who celebrated their fiftieth anniversary in 2018, rarely enjoyed that distinction even in the households of many prog fans. Vd GG, and the band’s main creative force, Peter Hammill, only really had one foot in prog – the other pivoted between more straight-ahead rock, wild experimentation, and at times, brutal noise. While Vd GG’s initial run ended prematurely, the band eventually came full-circle, reforming in 2005 and still going strong. Both Hammill and Vd GG have been lauded as musicians’ musicians by such luminaries as Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Julian Cope, Mark E. Smith, and Johnny Rotten.

This book will explore what these musicians, and legions of dedicated fans, found so inspiring over the years: all of the Vd GG albums, including Pawn Hearts and Godbluff as well as several solo Hammill albums crucial to the Vd GG story, are discussed in these pages, including a handful of essential live recordings, experiments, and collaborations. Nothing like this analysis of the band has been published before, and this book will prove an invaluable guide for navigating the Van der Graaf Generator sonic labyrinth.

Dan Coffey is a librarian, critic, and poet.  He has written extensively on experimental and avant-garde music for Avant Music News, Stereo Embers and Perfect Sound Forever, as well as publishing numerous book reviews for Foreword Magazine. He once interviewed Vd GG in an electrical storm! Coffey lives in Iowa with his wife and son, and his ever-growing record collection.
