Van Der Graaf Generator – H To He Who Am The Only One

A facsimile LP edition of the classic album from Van der Graaf Generator. Newly remastered from the original first-generation master tapes. One of the defining progressive rock releases of its era. Van der Graaf Generator’s second album, the wonderfully inventive H to He Who Am the Only One, sounds as fresh and new today as when it was released. Opening with the brilliant ‘Killer’, the album is a wonderful mix of rock, jazz and modern classical influences. Peter Hammill’s lyrics, as usual, are superb but it is the band’s music making that makes this the wonderful album that it is. The instrumentation arrangements are outstanding: in particular the way that David Jackson weaves his saxophones and flutes into the songs is absolutely magic. Hugh’s playing of various keyboard instruments and an “Oscillator” is equally inventive.
