Van Der Graaf Generator's New Album May Be Their Last

(Prog) Van Der Graaf Generator's Peter Hammill said the band were determined to create something special on their upcoming new album Do Not Disturb - because it could turn out to be the last record they ever make.

In an interview with Cherry Red Records boss Mike Powell, premiering exclusively with TeamRock, Hammill says the veteran prog heroes put extra pressure on themselves when writing and recording their 13th album as they may not make a follow-up.

In a 30-minute video interview Hammill says: "We do have the realisation that, okay we are all healthy at the moment, but we are all rising 70 now. And maybe this is the last record that we'll make.

"The minute that phrase is out there, that imposes a kind of discipline upon you to do something...I'm definitely not saying this is the last record we're gonna make, but it is one that we had that idea at the outset, which we didn't have, for instance, on the last couple of records."
