Napisah fino jebiga a ne ...oga

„The Undercover Man” is one of my all time VDGG fave (all periods). Light flute in the intro, „peaceful” vocals to start. Very melodious. The rest of the band then joins : first Hugh with subtle organ in the background, then Guy with very light percussions. Vocals then turns out to be incredibly sentimental while the band plays crescnedo and reaches full power. What a great track ! A pure beauty. The middle instrumental section is very strong but never enters into this weird trip so typical of VDGG first generation. Its finale is so emotional and beautiful. I remember that I was really charmed by this song when I got the album. An absolute highlight.

With „Scorched Earth” we enter their more classical repertoire, less melodious, darker, intricated. It is a very well bulit song, with a very tortured Peter and some outrageous sax from Jackson. He is so skilled at his instrument that he (but also Peter) turned me into a fan of their music although I usually do not like sax at all. The finale is just great. Another highlight.

„Arrow” is a very complex song, wild at times and difficult to enter into. Great drumming from Evans and very strong sax from Dave (this guy is really great). This is the most reminiscent track of their first era. This makes of „Godbluff” the missing link between „Pawn Hearts” and „Still Life”.

My second best here is „The Sleepwalkers” I really like it a lot. The intro is just nice and gentle, but when the vocals start, it turns out to be another scary one. We'll have a cha cha cha break for some relief before an incredible strong sax part and marvelous, melodious Peter. The instrumental break shows the whole band in its full power : Banton, Evans and Jakson accomplishing a great moment of VDGG music. Really powerful and almost sublime (really). These 10'31„ summarizes very well the second era of this wonderful band. Melodious at times, just complex enough during others (it would not be VDG otherwise) ! This track is so intense with the whole band playing at his best than I just felt in love with it.

Tri covjeka koji su jači od becke filharmonije, VDGG i Crimson su za one koji zahtjevaju malo vise..i nordijci sviraju kompleksnu muziku sa teskim prizvukom metala, uostalom kao i Bergmanovi filmovi. Godbluff razvaljuje od početka do kraja, kompletna savrsenost :)”
