VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR
Still Life/Vital ESOTERIC
VdGG live and in the studio. Still vital after all these years.
After the shock of VdGG’s unexpected reformation in 1975 and the release of their all-killer-no-filler comeback album Godbluff, the weight of expectation was extraordinarily high as fans eagerly awaited its follow-up, Still Life. Such was the creative surge that sparked their return to active duty, they already had the exultant swagger of Pilgrims and La Rossa’s demented waltz-time exertions held over from the Godbluff recording in the bag as they began work on new material in 1976.
