Back on topic:

I would ask Peter Hammill about the possible connection between The K Group and Franz Kafka (because I’ve read interviews where Kafka isn’t even mentioned, and I’m sure that Hammill has read Kafka’s novels). I would also ask him about A Grounding in Numbers: The songs Mathematics and 5533 seem to rule each other out. Is that deliberate or coincidental? (I guess the first.)

If I met Peter Gabriel, I would ask him if he ever thought about Dante’s Divina Commedia while he wrote the lyrics to The Lamb …
He say nothing is quite what it seems;
I say nothing is nothing
