Made a big drive from #NC to #NYS (about 13 hours over two days) and enjoyed my fav tunes on #Deezer.

I've got a sweet tooth for prog, indie rock, a lot of great female voices.

I have always regarded
Godbluff / Still Life / World Record as a trio

The person who is "Here at the glass" that opens Godbluff is the same person who has his "eyes pressed up tight to the glass" that closes World Record

Also

Man-erg is pun on Man Org
Hammill was a member of Manchester Scientistoligist. "How can I be free ...."

The Xmas book is incredible 😲

Look what he bought me

Absolutely stuffed with details about each and every song

@capnthommo
After many years of thinking, I believe The Sleepwalkers is #VdGG's finest work.

From what I can work out, the opening section is in 9/16 time !!

But the bit where Hammill smashes in with "At night before you lay down" is very powerful
