The foreboding crawl of the  Hammond organ is what made Van Der Graaf Generator one of the darkest and most  engrossing of all the early progressive bands. On H to He Who Am the Only One,  the brooding tones of synthesizer and oscillator along with Peter Hammil's  distinct and overly ominous voice make it one of this British band's best  efforts. Kicking off with the prog classic "Killer," an eight minute synthesized  feast of menacing tones and threatening lyrics, the album slowly becomes  shadowed with Van Der Graaf's sinister instrumental moodiness. With superb  percussion work via Guy Evans, who utilizes the tympani drum to its full extent,  tracks like "The Emperor in His War-Room" and "Lost" are embraced with a  blackened texture that never fades. The effective use of saxophone (both alto  and tenor) and baritone from David Jackson gives the somberness some life  without taking away any of the instrumental petulance. H to He is carpeted with  a science fiction theme, bolstered by the bleak but extremely compelling use of  heavy tones and the absence of rhythms and flighty pulsations. This album, which  represents Van Der Graaf in their most illustrious stage, is a pristine example  of how dark progressive rock should sound.
