Album Notes Van Der Graaf Generator: Guy Evans, Hugh Banton, Peter Hammill. The second album from Van Der Graaf Generator's early aughts' "comeback" period, TRISECTOR finds the band utterly confounding both longtime fans and newbies with a bizarre mix of prog rock and avant garde--in other words, business as usual. VDGG has made a career of exploring the most bizarre reaches of the prog scene and this record is no exception. From the decidedly funky (!) surf-guitar laden groove of the opening instrumental, "Hurly Burly," to the brain-frying 7/4 organ pattern and otherworldly Peter Hammill vocal vibrato of "(We Are) Not Here," the group once again invites (some would say demands) listeners to expect the unexpected.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- Guy Evans' drumming and Hugh Banton's organ are as gracefully minimal as a Memphis soul band. Uncut
3 stars out of 5 -- For diehards of their legendary stentorian spectacle, there will be contrasting emotions...[and] a new simmering tension. Mojo
4 stars out of 5 -- If your dream VDGG is guitar-rich and cracklingly paced, then you will find TRISECTOR exceptionally satisfying. Record Collector
