Do Not Disturb 180 gram edition

On September 30th **Van der Graaf Generator** release their 13th studio album *'Do Not Disturb'*, which is their third album since their reinvention as a three-piece group ten years ago. **Peter Hammill**, **Guy Evans** and **Hugh Banton** adopted an old school approach of fully rehearsing the pieces before a record button was hit. Then, in an intensive week, all the backing tracks were recorded live after which individual overdubbing took place in their own studios.

Some of this music is as technically demanding as anything VdGG have ever played. Other passages rely on the feel and empathy which has been built up over the years. As a whole, it's a confident and assertive exploration of the possibilities of a modern trio. Lyrically, the passage of time and the cascades of shared memory and experience illuminate the songs. *'Do Not Disturb'* is a vital addition to the recorded VdGG canon and once again shows why they are one of the foremost, peerless and relentlessly creative innovators of Rock.
