Iqembu le-rock eliqhubekayo laseBrithani i-Van der Graaf Generator alikwazanga ukuzibiza ngenye into. Izimbali futhi ziyinkimbinkimbi, igama lokuhlonipha into esebenza ngogesi lizwakala ngaphezu kokwangempela.
Abalandeli bezinkolelo-mbono zozungu bazothola umbhalo wabo ongezansi lapha: umshini okhiqiza ugesi - kanye nomsebenzi wangempela nononya waleli qembu, obangela ukundindizela emadolweni omphakathi. Mhlawumbe lena into engcono kakhulu abafana abangaqhamuka nayo.
Van der Graaf Generator - isiqalo
Ibhendi ye-art-rock yangaleso sikhathi yaqala imisebenzi yayo emuva ngo-1967. Abafundi baseNyuvesi yaseManchester uPeter Hamill (umshayi wesiginci nomculi), u-Nick Pearn (ama-keyboard) noChris Judge Smith (izigubhu nezimpondo) bakwazile ukuqhamuka negama elihehayo leqembu. Baqopha ingoma eyodwa ethi "Abantu Oya Kubo" kwathi ngemva konyaka nesigamu, beneminyaka engama-69, bahamba ngezindlela zabo ezihlukene.
Umgqugquzeli wemibono kanye nomuntu ophambili weqembu, uPeter, sekusondele ukuphela konyaka ofanayo, wakha iqembu elisha. Bekuhlanganisa nomdlali we-bass uChris Ellis, umshayi wekhibhodi uHugh Banton kanye nesigubhu uGuy Evans. Ngalolu hlu baqopha i-albhamu, ekhishwe hhayi eNgilandi enhle yakudala, kodwa ngaphesheya kolwandle, eMelika ethuthukayo.
Kuhlale kunzima ukuthi abantu abanobuhlakani babe seqenjini elilodwa isikhathi eside. Kukhona ukuzungezisa njalo ku-"Generator". U-Ellis, oshiye leli qembu, indawo yakhe yathathwa nguDavid Jackson, odlala umtshingo ne-saxophone. Kwengezwe i-bassist u-Nick Potter. Ngokufika kwamalungu amasha, nesitayela somculo siyashintsha. Esikhundleni se-psychedelics ye-albhamu yokuqala, eyesibili, "Okuncane Esingakwenza Ukugagasa Komunye Nomunye", iphuma i-jazzy yakudala.
Izilaleli zisabele kahle emsindweni omusha weqembu. Ikhuthazwe yile nqubo, ibhendi yaqopha enye ngonyaka ofanayo. Lokhu kuqamba, okuqophe ama-albhamu okuqala eqembu, kuthathwa njengeyakudala kuze kube namuhla. Ulethe leli qembu isitayela sakhe esibonakalayo nokuthandwa.
Impumelelo yokuqala
I-quartet iqophe enye i-albhamu ngo-1971, iPawn Hearts, eyayiqukethe izingoma ezintathu kuphela. "I-Plague of Lighthouse Keepers", "Man-Erg" kanye ne "Lemmings" ibhekwa njengemisebenzi engcono kakhulu ye-Van der Graaf Generator kuze kube namuhla.
I-Van der Graaf Generator iyajikeleza. Iminyaka emibili (1970-1972), izigidi zabalaleli bethulwa emsebenzini wabo. Abafana bafanelwe uthando olukhethekile e-Italy. I-albhamu yabo ethi A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers idume kakhulu. Bahlala phezulu kumashadi ase-Italy amasonto ayi-12. Kodwa ukuvakasha akulethi izinzuzo zezohwebo, izinkampani zokuqopha azinantshisekelo yokusebenzisana - futhi iqembu liyahlukana.
1975 - ukuqhubeka
Ngemva kokuhlukana kweqembu, uPeter wanquma ukuphishekela umsebenzi wedwa. Amanye amalungu amsiza njengabaculi abavakashile.
Ngo-1973, u-Banton, uJackson no-Evans bazama ukuqala imisebenzi ezimele. Baze baqopha i-albhamu eqanjwe ngeqembu elisanda kwakhiwa - "The Long Hello". Akuzange kuqashelwe nhlobo umphakathi uwonke.
Ngemva kokuhluleka emsebenzini we-solo, abahlanganyeli banquma ukuphinda bahlangane ohlwini olulethe ukuthandwa kweqembu ngo-1975. Phakathi nonyaka baqopha ama-albhamu afinyelela kwamathathu, futhi mathupha benza njengabadidiyeli.
Kodwa iqembu liqala ukushisa: ngo-76, uBanton waphinde wahamba, futhi ngemva kwesikhashana, uJackson. U-Potter wabuya futhi kwavela ilungu elisha leqembu - i-violinist Graham Smith. Iqembu lisusa igama elithi "Generator" egameni lalo. Abahlanganyeli bakhipha ama-albhamu amabili: bukhoma nesitudiyo futhi bahlukane futhi.
I-albhamu ethi "Time Vaults" ishicilelwe ngemuva kokuphela komsebenzi ohlangene. Iqukethe imisebenzi engakhishiwe, izikhathi zokuzilolonga ngesikhathi sokuba khona kweqembu. Ikhwalithi yomsindo, ngokungananazi, bekungeyona ehamba phambili, kodwa abalandeli abathembekile bayengeze eqoqweni labo.
Van der Graaf Generator namuhla
Ngemva kokuhlukana kweqembu, ukwakheka kwe-classical ngezikhathi ezithile kwakunikeza amakhonsathi. Ngo-91 bacula ngosuku lokukhumbula unkosikazi kaJackson, ngo-96 bahlobisa i-albhamu eyedwa ka-Hammil no-Evans ngokuba khona kwabo, kwathi ngo-2003 eLondon, e-Queen Elizabeth Hall, kwazwakala ingoma edume kakhulu, ethi Still Life. Ngemuva komdlalo owawuseRoyal Concert Hall, lapho leli qembu lamukelwe ngemfudumalo ngumphakathi, kuqhamuka umqondo wokuhlangana futhi.
Ama-rockers aqala ukucinga izinto ezintsha, abhale izingoma, aqeqeshe, futhi entwasahlobo ka-2005 i-disc yabo ethi "Present" yakhululwa, imemezela ngokuzwakalayo ukuthi iqembu libuya ngokunqoba.
Ngemva kwenyanga, kwaba nekhonsathi eRoyal Festival Hall, eyaqinisekisa ukubuyela esiteji ngempumelelo.
Iqembu liya ohambweni lwase-Europe. Lapho ebuya, uDavid uyalishiya iqembu, kodwa ukungabikho kwakhe akubathinti abanye. Ngo-2007, kwakhululwa i-disc enekhonsathi eqoshiwe yokubuya kwekhonsathi, kwathi ekuqaleni konyaka olandelayo, i-albhamu ethi "Trisector". Ngemva konyaka, entwasahlobo - futhi ekhonsathini uhambo European, futhi ehlobo - uhambo USA naseCanada, futhi amakhonsathi eziningana e-Italy. 2010 - ikhonsathi eHholo Elincane laseLondon Metropole, ngo-2011 - ukukhululwa kwe-albhamu ethi "A Grounding in Numbers".
Akukona okokugcina okwamanje
U-Van der Graaf uyaqhubeka nokukhiqiza imibono, nakuba leli gama elingukhiye selihambile igama lebhendi yabo. Ngo-2014-15, iqembu, kanye nomdwebi u-Shabalin, bathuthukise umqondo wephrojekthi yobuciko be-Earlybird Project futhi bawethula emphakathini. Ngendlela, igama lephrojekthi lanikezwa ingoma yesihloko esithi "Earlybird", evula i-albhamu ka-2012.
UVan der Graaf akalokothi ayeke ukumangala abalandeli babo, efakazela wonke umuntu ukuthi iminyaka ayisona isithiyo sokudala, futhi iminyaka yengeza isibindi nesifiso sokuletha okuthile okusha nokungavamile emsebenzini wakho.
Kazi bazoqhamuka nani eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo?
