STILL LIFE

Another Van Der Graaf masterpiece, this album is less dark then previous great vdgg album Godbluff. And it is somewhat similar to Godbluff. Every track on Still Life is strong and as usual Peter and the boys are on top of their game. This was the third masterpiece in a row for VDGG. Some standout tracks on the album would be La Rossa, this one of my all time faves of vdg a very powerful song, and another great track is the opener Pilgrims this one kind of builds up like Undercover Man, but is less dark. And the closing track childlike faith shows Peter Hammills powerful vocals. They always know how to close a great album. Still life gets 5 stars from me and i just started listening to Vdgg recently and they are already one of my favorite bands of all time. This is a band that always delivers great music.
