Van Der Graaf Generator - After The Flood - The Early Sessions (November 1967 - October 1970) album flac

Van der Graaf Generator are an English progressive rock band, formed in 1967 in Manchester by singer-songwriters Peter Hammill and Chris Judge Smith and the first act signed by Charisma Records. They did not experience much commercial success in the UK, but became popular in Italy during the 1970s. In 2005 the band reformed, and are still musically active with a line-up of Hammill, organist Hugh Banton and drummer Guy Evans.

After the Flood Lyrics. Continuing the story, humanity stumbles - Gone is the glory, there's a far distant rumble The clouds have gathered and exploded now: Axes shattered, there is no North or South Far off, the ice is foundering slowly The ice is turning to water The ice is turning to water. The water rushes over all Cities crash in the mighty wave; The final man is very small Plunging in for his final bathe

Later this month Universal Music will release a two-CD set of English prog rock band Van der Graaf Generator‘s BBC radio sessions. Spanning almost a ten year period the music within starts with a ‘Top Gear’ session from 1968 and moves through the 1970s with the second CD almost entirely made up of post 1975 John Peel sessions. Full track listing below. After The Flood: At The BBC 1968-1977 is due for release on 23 March 2015.

After The Flood collates all the recordings made by Van der Graaf Generator for Auntie Beeb during their eventful but hugely productive first decade, from the nascent brilliance of Peter Hammill’s earliest songs through to the jaw-shattering clangour of the mid 70s Van der Graaf line-up, via studio sessions – most notably for the legendary John Peel – and live performances . That this was conjured by men in the early 20s still boggles the mind. Predictably, the Peel sessions are the real gems here; exquisite versions of Refugees, The Sleepwalkers and a particularly fiery Scorched Earth more than matching their album-dwelling counterparts and sounding somehow more momentous and untamed. It all ends with a potted Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers, captured for Peel in ’77, that is as intense and grotesque as anything the punk rock scene was spawning, not to mention vastly more complex and fearless.

After The Flood may help. Compiling, as it does, a string of BBC radio sessions from the band’s fitful first decade, it actually functions as a more-than serviceable alternative best-of. Five previously unreleased tracks constitute catnip for completists, three of which are in-concert versions of Man-Erg, W and Killer, from September 1971, plus a solo reading of Vision (a lambent highlight of Peter Hammill’s first solo album, Fool’s Mate) and a segued (Fragments Of) A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers/Sleepwalker’s End, the latter originally transmitted in September 1977.

Van Der Graaf Generator. After The Flood (Top Gear Session, 1970). Van Der Graaf's BBC sessions include some of the most intense and beautiful performances the band ever gave, particularly across the first disc where they really are pushing musical boundaries. With the exception of King Crimson, VDGG were the most adventurous band ever to be saddled with the Prog label, but with less improvisation on display, they stand and fall on the purity of their songs - which never let them down.
