A band that dare not die, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR have been giving their gloom a new sensuality in the past few years, and it turns out "Merlin Atmos" wasn’t Peter Hammill, Hugh Banton and Guy Evans’ final, stage-bound bow. Following up on their 2012’s "Alt" is the trio’s thirteenth record “Do Not Disturb” that’s scheduled for September 30th release on CD and, mastered at Abbey Road, on vinyl.

5. Shikata na Gai
6. (Oh No, I Must Have Said) Yes
7. Brought To Book
8. Almost the Words
9. Go
