Description/Reviews: 
Intelligent, well-crafted lyrics demand corresponding music and, as is to be expected with a Hammill album, there is no unequally yoked coupling here. The songs on From The Trees can stand with any of the "classic" stuff he did in the first / second acts of his performing career.

Description/Review
Incredibly, the new (and possibly final) offering from Van der Graaf Generator is the best thing they've done since their reformation. In a career that has origins dating back almost fifty years, this album feels like the culmination of their noble journey, as if this was meant to be the closer. As such, Do Not Disturb sometimes recalls past glories yet sounds new, groundbreaking, and unlike anything else they've done.
