Recording information: The Gaia Centre, Delabole, Kernow (07/02/2007-07/13/2007). Illustrator: Paul Ridout. The second album from Van Der Graaf Generator's early aughts' "comeback" period, TRISECTOR finds the band utterly confounding both longtime fans and newbies with a bizarre mix of prog rock and avant garde--in other words, business as usual. VDGG has made a career of exploring the most bizarre reaches of the prog scene and this record is no exception. From the decidedly funky (!) surf-guitar laden groove of the opening instrumental, "Hurly Burly," to the brain-frying 7/4 organ pattern and otherworldly Peter Hammill vocal vibrato of "(We Are) Not Here," the group once again invites (some would say demands) listeners to expect the unexpected.
