H to He, Who Am the Only One by Van der Graaf Generator

The album's cryptic title: "H to He" in the title refers to nuclear fusion and therefore the transformation of hydrogen (H) into helium (He), and the sequel is a continuation of the phrase starting with "He." To add some notes on the titles, in the song "Pioneers Over c" the letter "c" alludes to the speed of light.

The album is considered, along with "Pawn Hearts," one of the milestones of their discography and is composed of five songs, two of which are divided into two parts, for a total running time of about 46 minutes.

Killer, magnificent, with splendid saxophone parts from Jackson and a magnificent work by Evans, a song with a psychedelic sound, an impressive opener of the album.
"House with No Door" is a ballad, with the piano in the foreground and a large part for flute, guitars, and bass.
"The Emperor" features keyboards and Hammill's vocals that make the difference. Beautiful!
The Emperor In His War Room, with an exceptional Robert Fripp solo.
"Lost," with its jazzy vibe, is one of the best tracks not only on the album but on Van der Graaf Generator in general, with Hammill playing magnificently.
"Pioneers Over C," unlike the others, oriented towards space rock, is perhaps the least evocative track on the album.

A MUST-HAVE for any collection, a timeless masterpiece that still sounds fresh and great today after more than half a century.
