    • The band regroups in 1975 and releases a great album
After nearly imploding from the stress associated with the intense tours of Italy in 1972, VDGG disbanded only to regroup for this great 1975 effort. Although the liner notes indicate that there were significant stumbling blocks when the music was first being put together, you would never know by listening to the compositions, all of which are strong. The lineup on this album includes Peter Hammill (vocals, piano, acoustic/electric guitar); Hugh Banton (Hammond organ, piano, synthesizers, bass guitar); David Jackson (saxophones and flute); and excellent drummer Guy Evans. The performances are very good all around and Peter Hammill's aggressive vocal style is in great form. In contrast with classic albums such as Pawn Hearts (1971), this album may not be musically as experimental and far-reaching but it still makes for a challenging listening experience. This is especially apparent in David Jackson's playing, which is also somewhat tamed down - he does not unleash the "free-jazzish" explosions of atonal notes on his saxophone as he did on earlier albums. I suppose this all sounds like I am complaining although I am not. There are some fantastic compositions on this album, and melodies are actually used very well. Overall, the VDGG "thing" is still present, albeit in a somewhat toned down manner - they seemed to want to loosen up, even if only a tiny bit. In addition to the original tracks, this superb EMI remaster features two live bonus tracks including Forsaken Gardens (12'23") and A Louse is not a Home (10'26") - this track was originally featured on Peter's solo album The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage. Although the sound quality is pretty rough, the performances are out of this world and recall the band at their heaviest. One thing I feel compelled to point out is that the improved sound quality has really brought out the subtleties of Guy Evan's incredible drumming. In fact, all of the remastered VDGG albums are like that - it is just a shame they waited so long to remaster the catalog, Guy is just fantastic. In addition, the liner notes are extremely informative and feature a ton of pictures of the band (black and white). This is a fantastic album from this period of VDGG and is highly recommended along with H to He, He who am the only One (1970); Pawn Hearts (1971); and Still Life (1976), which is a personal favorite. World Record (1976) is the last 1970s album to feature the classic lineup, although it is not nearly as good as Godbluff or Still Life. ... show more

    • Prog Rock at its Best
I've been a fan of this band for about ten years. I don't remember them from the 70s (I'm that old) but I discovered them kinda late. In the years I've been into Prog VDGG is a band that I've loved from a distance. It's not stuff I listen to on a regular basis but every now and then I get an itch for some quirky, wierd, symphomic prog/rock. I've read about Godbluff for years. Never heard it until I bought it recently. I have 4 other VDGG albums. My favorite is still "Pawn Hearts." Set that one in stone. Godbluff took a few spins to grow on me, but I knew from the first second that this album was claasic VDGG. Favorite track is "Scorched Earth." The album is a monster of prog. If you like King Crimson or early Genesis you'll probably like Van Der Graaf Generator. Godbluff is as good as anywhere to start (except the 21st century re-union albums. Start with Godbluff or Pawn Hearts). Highly recommended. If you like British, symphonic/prog and you haven't heard VDGG, you owe it to yourself to get this album (or any VDGG album). ... show more

    • Not an impressive band
This band does not impress me much, and I don't think it is really prog rock as much as the Peter Hammill show. As I stated in my review of the previous album, "Pawn Hearts" his writing and singing style leave a lot to be desired. To me it is amateurish.

    • Great stuff. VDGG returns with a vengeance.
This album is the one that finally turned me on to VDGG. It's a spooky and emotional roller-coaster ride through Peter Hammill's brain. Now I want to go back and try Pawn Hearts again, which didn't grab me the first time. People who enjoy this may want to try Fripp's "Exposure" album, on which Hammill sings a couple of knockout numbers. ... show more
