An eye-opening trip to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury during the summer of 1967 inspired British-born drummer Chris Judge Smith to compose a name of possible names for the tilt candy grouping he wished to variant. Upon his return to Manchester University, he began performing with singer/songwriter Peter Hammill and keyboardist Nick Peame; employing one of the name calling from Judge Smith's list, the band dubbed itself Van Der Graaf Generator (afterward a machine which creates electrostatic electrical energy), in the end earning an acute cult following as one and only of the era's leading artistic production st. John Rock groups.


Despite the early involvement of Judge Smith and Peame, the grouping plant true succeeder as a vehicle for Hammill, whose dark, existential philosopher lyrics made him the focus of considerable attention. After the release of the 1968 single "People You Were Going To," Judge Smith left Van Der Graaf Generator, which by and then consisted of Hammill, keyboardist Hugh Banton, bassist Keith Ellis and drummer Guy Evans. The grouping soon split, and in 1968 Hammill entered the studio, apparently to record a solo album; however, he finally called in his ex-bandmates for assistance, and when The Aerosol Grey Machine appeared, it did so under the Van Der Graaf Generator constitute.


Although Ellis was replaced by Nic Potter and woodwind instrument player David Jackson, the reconstituted grouping continued on for 1969's Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other. After 1970s H to He, Who Am the Only One, Potter bygone; the Generator recorded one more LP, 1971's Pawn Hearts, before Hammill left for a solo vocation, putting an end to the group. After quintuplet solo efforts, all the same, Hammill over again reformed Van Der Graaf Generator in 1975 for Godbluff. Following a couple of 1976 albums, Still Life and Existence Record, Banton and Jackson exited; as merely Van Der Graaf, the band recorded The Quiet Zone with new violinist Graham Smith. After a 1978 unrecorded set, Critical, the radical officially disbanded, although most members made appearances on Hammill's subsequent solo records. Twice during the 1990s, Van Der Graaf besides reunited for one-off gigs, and in 2005 released a reunion album, Present.
