Tommy Sawyer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This event looks very interesting. The lineup seems pretty awesome, Anglagard, VdGG, etc. Anyone been before (or going this year) and can share some info? There doesn't seem to be a general description of the event from the site. This could be my only opportunity to see VdGG and some other bands live, so I definitely don't want to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I want to go but I'm seeing Marillion the week before so I most likely won't be able to. VDGG is the main reason why I'd want to go, but Peter Hammill said that they should be playing some other US dates (hopefully NYC!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 ColdFireYYZ, I hope my parents will let me go too... Course I don't know who'd take me, it's 10 hours away. And if VdGG is playing some more US dates, that'd be really awesome. Any official announcements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their album covers are mindblowingly awesome. Unfortunately, the vocals kill what otherwise would be great music. For a similar vibe, though done SO much better, try Nektar.

Yeah the vocals just killed it for me. Nektar is a great band. Remember The Future is the only album that I have by them and its great. It was actually one of the first prog albums that I listened to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recycled is also well worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 The vocals on Ocean by Eloy didn't bother me at all... I will have to try Nektar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
