Otherwise you mean to confirm that Pawn Hearts is a bit too much for me. and you were in fact teasing me with this guy attached ->

Anyhow, you are right.

BTW I also have the first solo album from Hammill, but after a short enthusiastic period feel that I am losing interest a bit. I assume other albums are not only piano and voice.




Hammill solos woth exploring -the one's I have anyway...

Over
Fireships
In A Foriegn Town
Black Box
The Silent Corner and the Empty stage
And Close As This

Still Life - La Rossa
World Record - Meurglys III
The Quiet Zone - Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever (Running)

some real tough cookies though, especially on Godbluff

Godbluff - Scorched earth
Still life - Pilgrims
World Record - A place to survive
The Quiet Zone-The Pleasure Dome - Lizard play
Past/present - Nutter Alert


Only three albums in my possession:

H to He who am the only one -   The emperor ...
Pawn hearts - A Plague of lighthouse keepers
Godbluff - Arrow (at the moment, but mt first VDGG songs was Undercover Man, and that song will always keep a special place)

Next album to discover would be Still Life and I hope it will be more in line with Godbluff than Pawn Hearts. Pawn Hearts is sometimes a bit too much for me.

Fantastic poll, congratulations Titanic:
Van der Graaf are my favourite band, so I'd even take three pieces for each album, but the poll is clear. So:

Afterwards
Refugees
Lost
The plague of lighthouse keepers
The sleepwalkers
Childlike faith in childhood 's end
When she comes
Yellow fever/cat's eye
Roncevaux
Every bloody emperor

I also considered Time Vaults because it mostly contains original tracks or very different versions.

This is hard. I only have about half of all their albums, so it gets even harder.
The only thing I`m really sure of is that Sleepwalkers is the best track on Godbluff.
