Van der Graaf Generator
Most
fans thought it would never happen, but Guy Evans, David Jackson,
Hugh Banton and Peter Hammill have reunited as Van der Graaf
Generator. This is not a nostalgic reunion to relive past glories,
however, but a coming together of new experiences and fresh
perspectives for the creation of a brand-new studio album,
Present. The studio sessions provided 16 new Van der Graaf works
spread out over two CDs. One CD consists of rehearsed
songs/structured pieces , the second CD features an hour's worth of
improvisations.
28 years since their last studio album Van Der Graaf Generator are
back. Remarkably it's the cardinal, classic Banton - Evans -
Hammill - Jackson line-up.

The Tangent
NEW LIVE CD
PYRAMIDS AND STARS...
This is to be released as a limited edition CD. The single CD
contains 80 minutes of the Tangent captured live on multitrack,
onstage at the Colos-Saal in Aschaffenburg on Nov 3 2004. NOT ALL
the tracks played that night are present (it was a 2 hours plus
show!!), but tracks include the full "In Darkest Dreams" , "The
Canterbury Sequence" and "The World That we Drive Through"...
amongst others. The album will be released as a kind of official
bootleg on PROGJAM records, and will only be available on-line or at
concerts. It represents the last night of an amazing tour, and
probably the last time that that particular lineup of the band
(Tillison/ Baine/ Stolt/ Csorsz/ Reingold) would play together. "The
first chapter ended on a high note" says Andy, "and you can hear the
fun we were having on the recordings... "

Sanity
White smoke from Sanity’s chimney
End of March bass player Roger van Acquoy decided to leave Sanity
because of personal reasons.
After a carefull audition process Arjo Miedema was selected to
strengthen the band.
Arjo plays bass for more than 18 years and previously played in
Dutch band like Ramp-Zalig and Fastlane. With the deeper and more
solid sound of his a.o. 6-string Tobias and his 5-string Yamaha NA5
Arjo brings his typically own sound along which will improve the
sound of Sanity.
Besides playing bass, Arjo will also bring his contribution as
co-composer of new songs for Sanity.
