It`s a given that VDGG were and still are an acquired taste! That being said, once you acquire that taste you are hooked forever. There is no middle ground here, you either love them or hate them!!
PH himself said that at any given concert 50% were alienated by their music and would walk out...
I am part of the other 50% who stayed and experienced this phenomenal music, and I am still loving it.
VDGG - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other ( their ' official first release ') is a well structured, well produced album. The addition of David Jackson on Saxes adds great dimension to their sound. This remastered (2005) edition sounds great and with 2 bonus tracks is a must have to any VDGG collection. All of the Peter Hammill VDGG 2005 remasters are superb in my view.
Jump in and Acquire the Taste!!
