Van Der Graaf Generator is a stripped-down trio of original 1968 members Hugh Banton (organ), Guy Evans (drums) and Peter Hammill (vox, guitar, piano),who made a storming return to live performance in the spring of 2007.  The band started recording their album in July 2007, after a period of mixing and overdubbing Trisector. There are nine pieces on the album, one of them instrumental. Unusually for VDGG, only one of these is more than ten minutes long - indeed, five come in at under five minutes. There are, of course, passages of great complexity but there's also a confidence about the group which allows them to leave some simple things as they are.
