Nowhere Man
5 stars The definitive album from the definitive dark prog band.

Truly, Peter Hammill and company are in rare form on this masterpiece. All three songs are written with such a passion and style that they are distinct in the VDGG repertoire, but unquestionably the essence of the band. This is quite possibly my favorite album ever (a close tie with Tull's TAAB), and as such I have a very difficult time even knowing where to start to describe it. The power of Lemmings is evoking, the passion of Man-Erg moving, and the nautical imagery of A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers (coming from both music and lyrics) magnificent. I will simply say that it is an unbelievable album composed of some of the most incredible songs ever written (especially A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers). This website exists for albums like this. A definite 5 out of 5.
