VdGG enter the *gasp* mainstream UK Charts

Midweek album chart here: http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart-update/
No idea how things will look on Friday when latest chart announced. But I know from another band (not Prog) that you can have a single top the physical chart, but for the same product to not make a dent in the Official Singles Chart!

VdGG's new album "Do Not Disturb" just entered the mid-week album charts in the UK at #44! Just so we're clear, that's not the "indie" charts, or some sort of Amazon chart... this is the real-deal mainstream Top 100 UK chart.

I think that the past decade's worth of great reviews and articles in mainstream music mags and newspapers in the UK and Europe have catapulted the group's stock. They've been very fashionable/hip in a way they weren't in the 70s, when they were just one of many Brit bands doing their thing. They've sort of had the kind of positive reappraisal that late 60's / 70's contemporaries like Nick Drake, Can, Captain Beefheart, and a few others have enjoyed (while the stock of more successful 70s acts have gone down, at least in terms of being critics' darlings).
