Van der graaf generator biography wikipedia
| Summary. Van Der Graaf Generator were in many ways the most original of the early prog-rock bands. Their sound (already unique because driven by saxophone and keyboards, not guitars) cannot be easily related to the archetypes of folk, blues, rock or jazz, despite the fact that it contains elements of all. The emphasis of their lengthy compositions was on pathos and melodrama, just like King Crimson, but also on fear and vulnerability. The degree of angst was further increased by Peter Hammill's pessimistic, claustrophobic lyrics and by his agonizing vocals. The psychological tortures of The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other (1970), the touching and liturgic poems of H To He Who Am The Only One (1970), and the bleak, terrible, delirious visions of Pawn Hearts (1971) combined existentialist emptiness and gothic nightmare.
