Visitors' Comments   Chris Rawson, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. I would particularly like to see the band again in the near future as when I saw them regularly in the mid 70s, they were absolutely brilliant and more creative and innovative than any other band I have ever seen or listened to. Are there any plans for Peter Hammill to tour in the near future? January 29, 1998   Aldo Orrù, Cagliari, Italy. I'm very happy about your VDGG Site. January 29, 1998   Anders Romundset, Lesja, Norway. I'm a quite young prog-enthusiast, 18yrs, who's really into the 70's bands like VdGG, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Gong, ELP and many others. This site is just another example of the quality most prog-pages has. Excellent! I think it's really important to have such a good source for VdGG to help "new" fans (like myself) to get into the band. It would have been hard to get the overwiev without a page like this. January 22, 1998   Euntaek Lim, Taejon, Korea. Impressive site like the music of VDGG!! This site not only include complete informations of VDGG and seems to be beautiful!! Thanks to your efforts. January 20, 1998   Alexandre Citvaras, Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil. Parabéns, Eduardo. O site está muito bom com informações em quantidade e precisas. Será muito util para o meu aprendisado sobre VdGG, banda da qual estou me tornando cada dia mais fan. Obrigado, Alexandre Citvaras January 19, 1998   Euntaek Lim, Taejon, Korea. Impressive site like the music of VDGG!! This site not only include complete informations of VDGG and seems to be beautiful!! Thanks to your efforts. January 19, 1998   Joe ..., ..., USA. I am not all that familiar with Van Der Graaf Generator's music, but I intend to acquire some CD's soon. I would like to say Thanks to the band because they heavily influenced my favorite band of all time. This band is Voivod. Thanks again! January 17, 1998   Dave Astley, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Very nice site. I first discovered VDGG in 1971, Pawn Hearts was the album and it fit in very well with what I was listening at the time, it was a great period for progressive rock. I saw VDGG twice in concert, once in London, England in 1975 [still have a pair of tickets in mint condition] and once in Toronto, Canada in 1976 [have pictures], I've also seen PH in concert [have pictures] and have met him on one occasion. Its great to see the memories being revived. January 10, 1998   Celso Fernandes Araújo, São José dos Campos, Brazil. Eduardo: I'll write in English so that all VDGG fans over the world can understand, ok? As a 41 years old VDDG and Peter Hammill fan, I wish to congratulate your for your piece of art Home Page. Keep on going! January 10, 1998   Pavel Borodin, Tuebingen, Germany. Very good site, both in design and information. December 22, 1997   Carsten Gersak, Kerkrade, The Nederlands. It's nice to find out that there are actually other people around the globe who like this music as much as I do..... (after spending years trying to convince friends, and not succeding..) December 21, 1997   Ken Brown, Staten Island, NY 10301, USA. I am looking for anyone in the New York City area who has copies of Van De Graaf Generator albums circa 1974 to 1979. None of my favorite alternative stores seem to be able to get ahold of them. December 17, 1997   Maciej Trzemzalski, Gdansk, Poland. P. Hammill: we want a concert in Poland December 5, 1997   Luiz Esteves, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil. Congratulations! Great page of yours for a great band. November 28, 1997   Gustavo Lisboa, Núcleo Bandeirante - DF - Brasil. Dear Eduardo, It is a great pleasure when we find out some websites which are calling us about the good times of the 70īs, when we had terrific progressive bands such as Van de Graaf Generator. (Actually, they were a REAL sound generator!)My web surfing tonight was complete! Keep on moving, friend! "Searching for diamonds in the sulphur mine", Peter Hammill wrote down some day long time unforgotten ago! I complete: "Tracing his steps in the WWW!" Congratulations! November 24, 1997   Bert Vijn, Søgne, Norge (Soegne, Norway). Eduardo, this is just another great site from your hands! I'm very impressed. Structured well, b e a u t i f u l , lots of info. Keep adding! Thanks very much! All the best to you. November the 19th 1997   Roberto Jorge López, Buenos Aires-Argentina I am a V.D.G. fan since 1973. I am 39. It would have been nice to have web in that time! Excellent. November the 19th 1997   Grant Penton, Montreal, Canada. It's now been 20 years since I first heard Hammill (Forsaken Gardens was the first memorable exposure), and his epochal songs have guided me through many a dark night of the soul- thank you for assembling such a complete set of informative links for this illustrious muse (and for the intense tallents of Banton, Jaxon, Evans, Potter- and CJ Smith, whose early contributions deserve memorable credit). Keep up the good work, particularly in providing memorabilia for fans new & old, and reminding us that he's still at it... (and tell us if PH still takes fan encouragement mail) November the 11th 1997   R. Brian Watkins, E. Hartland, Ct., USA. Hammill's early work helped to shape my synapses, so I'm obviously delighted to find this site! Thanks for the lyric pages and links. Deep, introspective fun for the whole family! November the 10th 1997   Werner Wingen, Atlanta, GA, USA. Great site, thanks! Well done from both an appearance and contents point of view. I'll be back in the future to find out what's new. November the 1st 1997   Ernest Scribner, Oneida, NY , USA. enlightening. worth my time. just happen to be listening to world record. makes me want to own everything by vdgg and ph. i'll have to knock over a convenient store and steel some kid's lunchmoney. October the 26th 1997   José Carlos Fialho, Carnaxide, Portugal. It's great to see such a fantastic page! And a portuguese one... I did't have the time to look at it carefully tonight (22.10.97) but I will soon. By the way, as the webmaster is portuguese (so am I, as you noticed), maybe we can meet someday. I'll keep in touch. And, of couse, obrigado... October the 22th 1997   Helcio Gonzaga Alves Junior, Botafogo, RJ, Brazil. Congratulations for the page. It is the best page of Van der Graaf and Peter Hammill. I am a collector of VdGG and Hammill stuffs and I have all the records of both. Thank you for give me the pleasure to know more about Hammill and VdGG. October the 10th 1997   Jim Rezek, Balto, MD, USA. I think it's great that this site is available. I'm new to this internet stuff so I might not be seeing everything you have set up.

September the 25th 1997   Chris Staab, New York, USA. Fantastic site! Very well organized and very informative. Keep up the great site! September the 25th 1997   Tomasz Kaszkur, Gdansk, Poland. You are my saviour!! (but I'm still waiting) September the 24th 1997   Marcin Lewandowski, Poland. This Is The Best Site about VdGG September the 24th 1997   Nick Morris, Salem, MA, USA. My first acquaintance with VDGG or Peter Hammill came with "The QZ/ The PD" album, which provided me with a visceral antidote to the rigours of boarding school life in parochial climes. It has two songs which move me to this day. "Siren Song" is truly out there! However, my interest waned, my tastes changed, as they are wont to do, and it was not until recently that I redsicovered the music, driving through New Mexico with all my worldly goods in tow. I found a couple of tapes in a box in the back of the U-Haul which did the full bronchio-dilatory monty on me, .... a compilation of VDGG, Velvet Underground, and Devo tracks. Even much of the older VDGG and Hammill sounds fresh, it still has a cerebellum-quivering, mood-enhancing, electrode-on-yer-balls effect. Now as an expatriate of several years I find myself drawn back to this music ... I am in the process of catching up with more recent releases, and updating the vinyl classics with later CD releases. Thanks for the great web site... it has shown me that VDGG have a truly international appeal. PS. Several songs on Nick Cave's "The Boatman's Call" sound a lot like Peter Hammill to me. Has any one else noticed any similarities? September the 20th 1997   Rene Bos, Delft, The Nederlands. Great site! My -modest- PH site, includes all stuff I have September the 14th 1997   Manuel Grande, Oxford, UK. What a niice page! September the 13th 1997   Bogdan Motoszko, Warsaw, Poland. Great work!!! It's just what I'm looking for. Tanks. September the 12th 1997   Robert Eksteen, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Well done, Eduardo. Another nice one! September the 12th 1997   Matthew Jonathan Harper, Baton Rouge, LA, USA. My acquaintance with VdGG has been limited (so far!) but very pleasant :)! When I sought out information on the group, however, I found very little :(. My two VdGG albums ("Pawn Hearts" and "Godbluff") are both on the reissue Blue Plate division of Caroline Records, and they are bereft of any significant liner notes, most especially bereft of lyrics! Hammill is one of those singers who demands much from the listener, so living w/o the lyrics is hard :)! This site is wonderful, thank you! September the 11th 1997   Simon Brader, Silverstone, Northants, UK. Thank you, Eduardo. A great site, worthy of the greatest band of all. Well cool I'll visit frequently. September the 4th 1997   Doug Otte, Hyattsville, MD, USA. Thanks for the excellent site. I'll check back often for updates. How about a newsletter for new recordings, re-releases, memories, etc.? September the 3rd 1997   Bogdan Olenici, Bucharest, Romania. Great, great, great. I like very much the topbar idea. I wait for new things to find in this site, which proves to be very serious. September the 3rd 1997   Jacques Côté, Québec, Canada A very good-looking site. And keep the new stuff coming. September the 3rd 1997   Ruben Arnao, Lima, Peru. Great site! Excellente work! I've been waiting for a VDGG's homepage like this! September the 2nd 1997   Oleg Miliukov, Moscow, Russia. Great! Great! Great! Thanks ! From Moscow with love! September the 1st 1997   Rene M. Finkler, Adachi-Ku, Tokyo, Japan. Great Work ! I'm looking forward to this place becoming a hub of activity. Thanks ! August the 31th 1997   Sergio Pessanha, Rio Janeiro, Brasil. I think is the best visual site of VDGG/PH.I hope that contents grown naturally, like news about projects of musicians and other things. Congratulations, Eduardo for the very great site. August the 29th 1997   David Eric Shur, Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA Another excellent Eduardo site - done with class and style. I first discovered Van Der Graaf in 1970 and followed the band thru subsequent recordings and Hammill's wonderful book "Killers, Angels, Refugees." I saw the group in NYC for the World Record Tour. The memories go on..... August the 29th 1997   Julius J. Saroka, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, USA. Eduardo, you get another gold star! wonderful work, i'll be coming back regularly. all the best to you. August the 29th 1997   Tomai Catalin Ioan, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. I'm happy for this gift made to the Net community who deserves to know more about Hammill and his band. Hammill is the only pop artist (comments?..:) whose carrier I still follow ...passed the adolescence years, feeling proud to be among those who had the privilege to enjoy his music... August the 29th 1997   Koen Vyverman, Brussels, Belgium. Wow, a complete new site suddenly! Very stylish and practical design too. And more stuff to come, it seems? Yes, please! August the 28th 1997   Petri Heinonen, Helsinki, Finland. VDGG is maybe the most important band for me so you bet I'm glad because of this wonderful surprise!! Yet another beautiful site from Eduardo to bookmark. There hasn't been a decent VDGG site before this. Thank you!! August the 28th 1997
