Van der Graaf Generator's new album Trisector will be released on Monday 17th March 2008...

"There are nine pieces on the album, one of them instrumental. Unusually for VdGG, only one of these is more than ten minutes long - indeed, five come in at under five minutes. There are, of course, passages of great complexity but there's also a confidence about the group at the moment which allows them to leave some simple things as they are. These are songs which dictate their own terms, often with a healthy dose of gallows humour, always with a measure of invention.

"It's far from an over-manicured record. For the most part it is the sound of the three musicians both stretching and enjoying themselves in locked-on sympathetic playing. As ever, it doesn't sound like anyone else - even past versions of VdGG.

"But as ever, there isn't another group quite like Van der Graaf Generator."

The CD will be released in the USA on April 1st, but a download will be available on March 17th to coincide with the UK release. Caroline Records will also be releasing in the USA the 8 VdGG re-masters, packaged as "Mini Vinyl" CDs, on March 25th.

1. The Hurlyburly
2. Interference Patterns
3. The Final Reel
4. Lifetime
5. Drop Dead
6. Only In A Whisper

8. Over The Hill
