X My Heart

A Black Box

Fool's Mate
7/13/2005, AMG

In A Foreign Town
7/13/2005, AMG
Although not considered one of Peter Hammill's best by longtime fans, 1988's In a Foreign Town does contain some worthwhile material. Produced by Hammill himself, the album...

In Camera
7/13/2005, AMG
With the exception of the final track ("Magog"), this is a very good example of early Hammill solo work, ably assisted by David Jackson's haunting sax. "Tapeworm" is a...

Love Songs
7/13/2005, AMG
A collection of pre-1984 Hammill "love songs" -- love as a gentler emotion, but never sugary or saccharine. These are new versions with new arrangements, new twists and...

Nadir's Big Chance
7/13/2005, AMG

Room Temperature
7/13/2005, AMG

Sitting Targets
7/13/2005, AMG
Peter Hammill again plays the same trick as he did in 1978-1979, when, after the strange, experimental The Future Now LP, came the more straightforward pH7. The same...

Skin
7/13/2005, AMG
All but a reunion of Van Der Graaf Generator in terms of personnel, and harkening to the latter-day spirit in terms of some of the tone, Skin is nonetheless Peter Hammill...

The Future Now
7/13/2005, AMG

The Silent Corner & The Empty Stage
7/13/2005, AMG
