World Record introduced me to Van Der Graaf Generator, and is certainly a great start.

Peter Hamill's vocals and the sax playing of David Jackson contain the weight of my attention throughout the album, while the piano/bass/organ/mellotron work of Hugh Banton and the percussion of Guy Evans provide a less attention grabbing but completely solid template for the groundwork of the entire album.

I consider this album worthy of five stars. While not as epic and saturated as other prog classics, the album is still highly detailed, contains completely disctinct and technically inspiring vocals, and has a higher replay value than most of the late 70's output from other classic prog giants (I'm inclined to listen to this album more than late 70's post-Gabriel Genesis or Going for the One era Yes, though these examples are also very listenable).
