Van Der Graaf Generator - Diminutions/Theme One

[musikbox70]

"Pawn Hearts" was originally a double album, with a fourth side of solo material as "Diminuitions",

Thank you for writing back, if it was planned to be a double album then what other material was there intended for it that never got recorded, or mixed, or otherwise prepared, Hammill has spoken of the recording sessions being fueled by alcohol etc and being fairly mad.... p.s.nice visuals with the this video.

@MrDirtybear I know now.. if pawn heart was a double album, this is what you could find on it : Ponker’s theme, Angle of incidents, Diminutions (Available on the pawn hearts remaster) Archimedes agnostic (A lost song in latin) Squid/octopus (Available on H To He Who Am The Only One remaster)...Maybe i'm wrong but that's the only informations i could find...By the way i met Van Der Graaf Generator two years ago and talked to them..very kind persons and very simple, really sympathic !

@MrDirtybear

It was also supposed to have two songs that ended up on Hammill's solo albums: A Louse it not a Home and In the Black Room/Tower.

The first 5.45 of this are extra/bonus material made available on the remastered CD 'Pawn Hearts', and it is the first time I have it, pretty good I'd say....
