I got into H to He straightaway after hearing it for the first time on Christmas Day, but it's a good thing I didn't start with the Pawn Hearts album, or that might have put me off Van der Graaf Generator for life.

Personally, I've found it to be one of the more accessible VdGG albums that I've listened to. Accessible if you're coming at it from the perspective of a classic prog fan, that is.

Hard to get into, but rewarding in the long term. Not for VdGG starters.

One of the "holy" trio of VdGG for me alongside The Least We Can Do... and Pawn Hearts. I like it a great deal. "House with No Door" was my introduction to VdGG, soon heard "Killer" which was killer, and then got the album (my first to get by VdGG).

My introduction to VdGG...on a long bus ride back home after a trip to the Métropole. Love at 1st hearing (repeat mode on the discman) and still a favorite after all these years.

 I've been on a massive H to HE kick this week. I've always enjoyed it, but totally forgot about the poll thread I started last year. It's amazing to see how little love the final two tracks get; they are some of the most catchy and prog on the album for me! This record is ahead of its time for me. Very Earthy, organic production. I need to do a thorough review. This one's resonating strongly this winter! What are your honest thoughts on this classic piece of progressive rock? I love everything about the production, songwriting, themes and feel. Lost and Pioneer Over C truly are pioneering tracks for me, given this came out in 1970. KC was still gearing up and Yes were barely getting started with Fragile material. Discuss!!!
