This review refers to
Trisector (CD version).
The new 3 piece as showcased on last years tour is a powerful beast. Don't get me wrong, Jaxon was a huge piece of the sonic jigsaw, but as 3 the remainder do more than justice to the proud tradition, and push it forward into the 2010s. Hammill is compositionally astute, and Banton is sublime. As for Evans....what a drummer. He ranks amongst the greats of British drummers, with a power to match Bonham and a deftness to match...to match..well, to match anyone at all. Gentlemen, I loved this album on the first listening. I know it will grow as well. The writing is concise, melodic, frightening, subtle, brash, expansive, challenging... It is, ladies and gentlemen....Van d3r Graaf Generator! Classic!
