This song is more creative and powerful than any mainstream music released today... Van der Graaf Generator is one of my all-time favorite bands, and one of the greatest bands of all time.
The violin solo was played by Graham Smith of VDGG and String Driven Thing. He also wrote the music -- not the words -- but the music. Peter put the words on afterwards. Great stuff, is it not?
Qui peut douter du génie de Peter Hammill; il est un artiste à part. Maintenant, la musique est devenu trop commerciale, dommage au moins nous aurons connu le meilleur temps pour pouvoir l'apprécier! Chapeau!!!
Yes I feel the same, I used to see them live in concert in the late 60's early 70's but have a listen to the music of Agalloch, especially the albums - Mantle, Ashes Against The Grain and The White EP.
Grandiosi.....
