It has come to my attention that Van der Graaf Generator has reunited. They have an album of new material out now called Present. I'll have to check this out as I'm curious to know what Peter Hammill sings about these days and if he has mellowed out at all. Is it possible for him to have taken a, perhaps, lighter view on life? Listening to "Man-Erg" or "Killer" is not exactly a happy experience.

    my favourite part of "Killer"...

    Your mother gave birth to you and died immediately...
    'Cos you can't have two killers living in the same pad
    and when your mother knew that her time had come
    she was really rather glad.

  2. I've always found Man-Erg pretty uplifting, but that's just me.

    You should definately check out Present, it's their best since Still Life, I think.
