Congratulations to all Prog fans who recognise the lyrics,

"Yes I know it's
out of control, out of control
Greasy machinery slides on the rails …"

For everyone else, this track is barely under control for its 12 minutes or so of your time –

Van Der Graaf Generator, "Lemmings (inclusing 'Cog')" (1971)

Although I first heard King Crimson's "21st Century Man" when my tender ears were but 16 years old, this is the track that sent me down the Prog rabbithole –

Van der Graaf Generator, "Man-Erg" (1971)

Ten minutes of virtual insanity, and I only bought the bleeding gatefold LP because Robert Fripp was in the credits …

Maximum volume, if you want to sing along.

Van Der Graaf Generator - Man Erg (2005)

Blwyddyn fawr i fi: colli Dad, symud tŷ, ymdopi â gwefan wallgo, a gweld Van der Graaf pedair gwaith. Mwy neu lai yn y drefn yna, ond VdG oedd y peth oedd yn fy nghadw'n gall trwy'r cyfan. #VanDerGraafGenerator #ProgRock

The Windoze emoji panel is DA SHIT! It even understands VdGG! #VanDerGraafGenerator

#70smusictaughtme I, too, live inside me and very often don't know who I am. I know, I'm not a hero, I hope that I'm not damned. I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these. Dictators, saviors, refugees In war and peace. As long as man lives

#VanDerGraafGenerator #ManErg #PeterHammill

And I assume that a killer is a monster when it comes with a monster riff … eight minutes of Prog riffing.

Van der Graaf Generator, "Killer" (1970)

#vdgg #VanderGraafGenerator Stumbled across this weird cover of the original US and Canada release of "The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other".

For those not on Twitter: a pre-review that makes waiting for it a real burden.

ORGAN THING: Van Der Graaf Generator, The Bath Forum Concert - a live album. The perfection is in that imperfection, surely as vital now as ever?
