ALT is the twelfth studio album by English progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator. It was released 25 June 2012.[2] There are only instrumental songs on the album.

The opening track "Earlybird" has inspired the Earlybird Project (2014-2015), a non-profit environmental art project, an appeal for the preservation of the world. This project is the result of the collaboration between the Italian-Russian artist Vladislav Shabalin, who works with fossils, and Van der Graaf Generator.
