Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (2005)

eclectic Prog Rock .

A blast from my mid teens past , VDGG are not for the faint hearted listener . It took me a while to really appreciate them , so repeated listens are the order of the day . Not in any way classed as 'commercial' ( well ... only their 'Theme One' single broke that mould ) , i found them weirdly enchanting and drawn in by Peter Hammils musical themes . So , it's now 2022 ( as of this review ) i'm discovering them all over again on these 'remastered' CDs .... best thing to being 15 all over again ! .Read full review

Van dear Graaf - Pawn Hearts

Loved the original, hadn't heard it for decades, even better now in digital format compared to an ancient record player 40+ years ago lol.

For the progster you know you are.

I'll be honest.
It sounded muddy on my headphones
BUT, sounded awesome in the car with the JBL's.
Maybe I should get new headphones.
