Thin Air can be considered the third installment of a trilogy that includes the experimental syntax Incoherence that was the ineffectiveness of language and Singularity reflecting on old age and death. Thin Air, "thin air" covers death, change and loss: the dissolution.

Of the three episodes that could be considered the most accessible not only for its catchiness (which abound) and for the care of registration and air coated tools that give travelers the electron side (synthesizers, keyboards filter and the guitars and vocals). In the tradition hammilliana consistency between the text and music, the sounds tend to evoke purity, lightness el'inconsistenza thin air, the air of high altitudes. It is said that the idea originated in the disk Hammill years earlier in a visit to the top of the twin towers of the World Trade Center (the top of the world club, I suppose), and then obviously evoked by the tragedy of the same. No coincidence that one of the songs that seem to draw the Sept. 11 is titled Ghost Of Planes . Not only that you sing in Thin Air, but also of others have disappeared, like that of the girl who has seen the posters or the bottle of milk Your Face On The Street , or the escape of If We Must Part Like This, the world's ol'addio The Mercy . From the musical point of view Thin Air is less than minimal: of the nine pieces, just one, Undone , could be called a song (which in fact has found its place among the tracks on the live show Hammill). The rest is vague between echoes, sounds, dissonant, voices and choirs and the filtered echo. From this point of view, the perfect song is the final The Top Of The World Club , that within nine minutes is able to evoke emotion and lyricism in a song that becomes the shared. The cold The Mercy opening can be said successful.

recorded April 14, 2007 at The Paradiso Club in Amsterdam by:

Hugh Banton: organ

Guy Evans: drums

Peter Hammill: vocals, guitar, piano

After being orphaned by David Jackson, before he closed the studio to record the album as a trio that would take the title of Trisector , the VDGG pledged to choose material from rearrangement without saxophone, and undertook a tour to test the new training and new numbers. Half of the concert in Amsterdam in April to the delicious club The Paradise was chronologically the tenth of the show. The three felt ready to record the concert for a film and a related music CD, which were published only a couple of years later by Voiceprint. Despite the defection

important, the band was obviously in great shape and did not lack enthusiasm, and the concert was wonderful. The sound does not appear at all maimed or less complete, and a careful listener will not even notice there is a lack of parts sax.

The choice of songs is not unlike that of 2005 registered for the show Real Time . Even the classic far are represented by Lemmings (with a large participation, of course, body Banton), Man-Erg and In The Black Room, as well as another song 'failure' of VDGG, Gog, published in due course on In Room of Peter Hammill.

The middle period is represented again by The Sleepwalkers and Scorched Earth more Meurglys III and A Place To Survive by World Record .

Among the new Every Blood Emperor comes from Present while new and Lifetime All That Before were included in Trisector .

A perfect concert.

Board for the purchase: another great testimony of VDGG in concert, this time in size to three.

songs Banton, Evans, Hammill

registered 2 to 13 July 2007 to gaia Center, Delabole, Kernow by:

Hugh Banton: organ, bass

Guy Evans: drums, percussion

Peter Hammill: vocals, guitars, piano

In midst of the glories of the reunion of the band, with an excellent record and a great live show, falls like a bolt from the blue the news of the abandonment of saxophonist David Jackson (or more likely his dismissal). There has never been an official communication of the reasons for separation, but are likely to be related to the limited availability of Jackson to a full-time commitment with the group. To prevent it represented a danger to the integrity of VDGG "Mark III", Hammill Jackson preferred to leave entirely out of the project. A decision of character, but not easy, because not only Jaxon is a saxophonist of great charm, but its contribution to the band's sound is crucial as the voice of Peter, and often the intervention of the notes of the saxophone is an exciting hook the viewer's attention in the edgy sound and difficult for the band.

However, the three surviving members pledged to rewrite the arrangements of parts so you can do without the sax, and started on the road to test the new sound (witnessed by Live at the Paradise, recorded in April, but published only a year later).

In July, they entered the studio with material written for a trio, in which the majority was given to keyboards, piano and organ. Although the songs are typically the Hammill, appears the signature of three members, to witness the collective effort of the arrangements and perhaps even to reward loyal players. The sound is still brilliant, but there is a lack of sax, and often one gets the impression of Facing one of Hammill's recent solo albums rather than the new album from Van Der Graaf Generator. Beautiful instrumental that introduces the album, The Hurlyburly , and beautiful ideas all over the place between the songs. An elegant disc. Enough to satisfy the thirst for music of the great English band. Not enough for the appetites of Virgin Records, after having resurrected the Charisma label's catalog to reprint VDGG and PH, the group will dissolve the contract.

tracks included in the live show: All That Before

Deodorants Without Antiperspirant

Keeping the night out

Yes, I tell you, Madonna Norman at the Met, of Handel's Messiah in St Thomas, the Starry Night, and strawberry Cosmopolitan French bistro in the Lower. And the taxi caught on the fly, the Sunday brunch from Veselka, squirrels, after all, the fact that Manhattan is an island, and sandals of Anthropology, yes.

And the Christmas party. But not now.

Now it's time to light candles to ward off the night.
