OVER

I think "Over" is a turning point in Hammill`s career. This is the last "old style" Hammill record, with some hints of the modern (and quite sterile) sounds of Hammill`s newer recordings. There are some beautiful and sad songs (Autumn, Time heals, This side of the looking glass) reminding us about Hammill`s most creative years in the early seventies. "Crying Wolf" is one of Hammill`s heavy rock pastiches. The rest of the songs are too "personal" stuff, it seems they are made not for a listener but for Hammill himself.
