Short intro

The Quiet ZoneThe Pleasure Dome is the eighth album by British progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator. Released in 1977, it was their last studio album before their 2005 reunion. The album features a more energetic, new wave sound than its three immediate predecessors, anticipating singer and songwriter Peter Hammill's late 1970s solo work. For this album, bassist Nic Potter returned to the band, having left in 1970, and violinist Graham Smith String Driven Thing, also joined the line-up, in. Van Der Graaf Generator.

Somehow this combination made sense: a revised band with Nic Potter returning on bass and the addition of Graham Smith, formerly of String Driven Thing, on violin with a shortened name, and an album that was named twice, with different cover art for each name. What also made sense was the focus on shorter songs and a change of musical attitude. While Hammill could never entirely shake off his approach to songwriting, he was able to modify it somewhat. Working with the new band, he was able to generate considerably more energy than on World Record. Rock 1977. Quiet ZoneThe Pleasure Dome, Van Der Graaf, 1977. Bizarre doesn't even begin to describe this album.

Der Graaf Generator efforts. I think it's a masterpiece, sure some others take the opposite opinion. Lizard Play exhibits the rather Van Der Graaf Generatorish well, in this case, Van Der Graafish of having some sort of anti-catch value. Completa la tua Collezione su Van Der Graaf.

The resulting album, The Quiet ZoneThe Pleasure Dome was released in September 1977, and it survived intact at the height of new wave, because its terse, opaque songs struck a particular chord in the new climate, proving that venom was not solely a punk's prerogative. The double live Vital was the noisy sign-off to Van Der Graaf. Recorded at London's Marquee during the second punk winter, it is desolate, dark and heavy, a mixture of new material and classics, delivered sparsely and aggressively.
