go with "Godbluff". it is easier accessible for first listeners. not that it is AOR stuff though, Van der Graaf Generator are far from that

Yes, "Godbluff" is a good selection. I found their recent 4CD box also from local library, so if you should have a change to lend it, I'll recommend that also. If you find it from store, I guess you can get at least part of your money back if it's a dissapointment...
