Also missed this thread. Agree that VDGG are an excellent band. Their music is so dark that I always put them in the same sort of genre as King Crimson. Their complex and often conflicting time signatures make for interesting listening. Great band

Unfortunately, because they're not readily available here, I don't have many of their albums (yet), but I have a large collection of Peter Hammill albums, all of which I enjoyed.
