no bonus tracks... ok, now i think the best song is "A plague of lighthouse keepers"- becuse he make my heart up and down, this is such genius song. amazing words: I love the that part in "Kosmos Tours"-"I dont want to hate, I just want to grow, why cant I let me live and be free... but I die very slowly alone" anyway, any song in this album is amazing. But I didnt understand the cover-with all that people that flow around, I can recognize: "Herzel", very weird. And what the hell is "Man Erg? ------------- ...live for tomorrow... |

See if I remember this right..... Name of the album came from David Jackson. He meant to say: I need to put some horn parts on the album. Instead he said: I need to put some porn harts on the album And from this album became Pawn hearts...... The cover shows a range of characters all enclosed in transparent pawn shapes, with a background of the Earth. The idea is meant to be that we are all pawns, whether we are kings, poor people or Swedish. Man-Erg relates to the fact each of us contains good elements (angels) and bad elements (killers) ------------- Proud to be an un-banned member since 2005 |

Man Erg gets my vote. It's one of a number of VDGG songs that I would class as a masterpiece. Plague is also fantastic, of course, but Man Erg just about beats it IMO. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Lemmings is the first track, that opens the apetite of the listener. so, you can hear the album rgow from this incredible track, with a Killer ending, a lot of speed, and an incredible level of poetry. Of course, the whle album fits into this dscription, but I just love the way it starts. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Since this thread is about Pawn Hearts I'm going to use the opportunity to ask: Is the opening track "Lemmings" supposed to be hacked like it is on my album? From the album I like "Man-Erg" - it's fantastic. |

reading in VdGG book Peter Hammill wrote Plague.. in an ice-cream van,
that doubled as a tour bus, on the riotous Italian VdGG tour where they
were being mobbed in the streets by enthusiatic fans. Hammill hid away
in the ice-cream van and penned the epic piece. Hugh Banton was not thrilled. After Lemmings and Man Erg on side 1 he wanted 4 or 5 catchy tunes to complete Pawn Hearts. Imagine his reaction on first hearing Plague.... The book is fabulous, essential reading. ------------- Proud to be an un-banned member since 2005 |

hard choice! maybe, and just for today, Man-Erg about Erg, I have a book with translated lyrics of VdGG/Hammil, and it says that is an energy measure unit... off topic, I always wonder what the "C" of pioneers over C means...of course, silly me, the speed of light! |
