All of Van Der Graaf Generator's stuff is of good quality IMHO, save those crap 'Time Vaults' demos.


I agree!!

Evening glad to see the talkers are increasing in numbers again - seems to be a lot of lurkers......


No worries.  Apologies for the quietness over the past weeks.  My mind is in a better zone this week.

Oooh, who's this?

Oh and I've thought of a possible request for next week, except my mind has forgotten who the artists are... I'll get back to you!

Check out the acoustic guys!!  Nick Harper has a reputation live. And I hear good things wrt my old radio  collaborator Gren Bartley on the folk circuit.

Nick Harper's been around for a few years now, though, hasn't he? I remember my dad (who's a big Roy Harper fan) borrowed one of his albums from the library in the 1990s. He did an in-store performance in the Cardiff Fopp store...can't have been long before that Fopp closed down for good, actually.

Saw it, didn't agree some of the comments, but I'm increasing ly feeling that site is less friendly than PA, seems less discussion. I seem to be contributing more points of information than debate there - PA has enough to be getting on with

There is indeed more snobbery on that site than here- there tends to be a contingent of RIO/avant fans looking down on other styles (particularly neo prog/prog metal) in a very vocal fashion, or people who post in threads just to be argumentative- but I find I post there more than on PA these days.

I lost the connection just now and then pressed play again and ended up hearing your introduction to VdG again!

I've refreshed the page now and all seems to be working again.

I tend to prefer these sort of early 70s rock acts to a lot of the later metal.

Check out the Cuneiform releases (4 so far - including a re-release). The latest Heat Beats Live is worth sampling and with a DVD.

As I said the UAE Swedish release versions seem to be deleted - have had a few fruitless web searches - and then I discovered Ultima Thule in Leicester were off-loading them cheap!
