Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reassembling the band with David Jackson's formidable saxophone attack now at the forefront, Peter Hammill steered Van der Graaf Generator into distinctly dark, highly ambitious territory. 'The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other' is fiercely complex and wonderfully poetic, delivering deeply philosophical, apocalyptic progressive rock epics.
