ColdFireYYZ Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm listening to A Grounding In Numbers right now. As much as I like it, the last thing I want to hear in a song on the second to last day of school is: "e to the power of i times pi plus one is zero e to the power of i times pi plus one is zero e to the power of i times pi is minus one e to the power of i times pi is minus one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm also a long time VDGG/Hammill Fan. I have everything from Aerosol to Grounding mostly on CD but also a lot of Vinyl. I bought 'The Fall Of The House Of Usher' cd in the 90's and it came with a german book called 'The House Is I'. The book is a thesis about music for a university written by a female student - amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Can't get into this band. Never did. Doubt if I ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy that's for sure - I bought my first VDGG CD just because of some musicians who mentioned the band as one of their influences. I went into a shop and found a CD called 'World Record' and it had a small sticker with a number on it. I asked the seller what the number was for and he said that's his order No. for this CD. It was 2112 - so I bought it and gave it a try. After I tried and tried I was ready to give up and then one night changed it all. I came home (must admit I was drunk) and took a CD from my shelf without knowing what it was (the light was off). I listened to the whole thing and went WOW. I turned on the lights and listened again but this time with the lyrics in my hand and since that day I was infected with a VDGG virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I wonder if they'll tour America. I'd like to see them before they retire. I also need to get all the VdGG albums I don't have yet so I can start listening to Hammill's solo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm a fanboy but even the worst or most uninspired stuff he writes is a unique and fun listen. If you find the fall of the house of usher, you're in for a f***ing insane treat.
