Van Der Graaf Generator-Pawn Hearts (1971)

Pawn Hearts would be the fourth album of the Van Der Graaf Generator, published in 1971, it meant to a certain extent a departure from the dark tone of the previous albums, here the group develops a very interesting concept.
With a certain dose of humor and extravagant power, the band leads us to a state of sonorous aggressiveness while the absurd lyrics (a reflection of Peter Hammill's sense of humor) counterbalance with the twisted chords of Robert Fripp that puts his talent at your service guitarist as a stellar guest on this album.

The immense work of Banton's keyboards, Jackson's saxophone and Evans' drums and patterns give the jazz touch as well as a spatial ambience to the final result of the album.
