Present

description Present Overview

Present is a 2005 progressive-rock album by Van der Graaf Generator. It marked the group's return to recording after a long period without a new studio album and brought together the classic lineup of Peter Hammill, Hugh Banton, Guy Evans, and David Jackson. The release is structured as two discs: one presents composed studio material, while the other documents extended improvisations. It suits listeners interested in experimental British progressive rock.
