Nice. I do hope it's a step up from AGIN, but being a hopeless fanboy it's essentially an autobuy for me.

^ I'm generally not a fan of these album covers where the band stands around in an (pseudo)arty location, but I like this one.

So, does it mean that we have to expect 3 months of promotion before the release? Is there any tour planned (except for Hammill's solo dates in november)?

Don't worry, it was more a bad taste joke than a suggestion. After all, the album is called Do Not Disturb: I guess that the band won't go out before september.

Yeah, that's a misprint that they'll hopefully sort out before they print the booklets up!

Dunno, but I was thinking the same thing. At any rate, Cherry Red is taking pre-orders at http://www.cherryred.co.uk/do-not-disturb-cherry-red-records-and-esoteric-antenna-are-delighted-to-announce-the-release-of-the-excellent-new-album-by-the-legendary-van-der-graaf-generator/ (That's a heck of a long link, ain't it)

Hey, for what it's worth, I bought the vinyl of Alt, and though it's missing some tracks from the whole, it works perfectly. And whilst it wasn't received incredibly well, it brought to my mind, that wonderful 70's spirit of releasing something spontaneous, which shows a kind of 'inner workings' or 'behind the scene' angle of the band. Maybe a slightly risky proposition in this day and age, but kudos to the guys for having the balls to go with it.
I still miss Jaxon's sax though. And, of course, dear Nic and his monstrous bass.
