Geafar starts off in an unexpected way: The first track sounds more
like brass rock (think of Blood Sweat and Tears, Electric Flag, etc.) or even
(psychedelic) soul similar to Wilson Pickett or Curtis Mayfield. Surprising and
maybe not really "progressive", but the track certainly has a nice groove and
great fuzz bass. The second track recalls the charming weirdness of mid-70's
Gong with a nicely flowing wah wah guitar and saxophone dominating. About
halfway. a majestic saxophone lead (in the best Van der Graaf Generator fashion)
and, on top, a soaring lead guitar lead to a quiet, beautiful part with flute
and ethereal female vocals. On the short, third track, they catch up with the
sound presented on their first album. A piano starts a melancholy theme, which
is accompanied a bit later by the ethereal female voice and violin/cello. The
following track could easily be a shortened Van der Graaf Generator track (taken
from H to He ...). The last track, the 14 minute "Geafar", is a killer one,
starting off quietly with a solo piano theme. Then a great progressive rock riff
for guitar and saxophone follows and, a bit later, the female voice sets in the
refrain. The instrumental breaks between the vocal sections are dominated by
great saxophone leads (which most will define as Van der Graaf like). After a
few minutes a longer instrumental section follows. First the lead guitar takes
the solo, next the saxophone takes over and underneath there is some great
active drumming. Incredible arrangements for saxophone/guitar follow which even
recall the almighty Moving Gelatine Plates. Brilliant. A quiet, beautiful part
for piano and saxophone slowly increases in tension and leads to the sax/guitar
riff of the beginning. A great ending to a fantastically diverse album. Highly
recommended! (Sjef
