to be honest, there's a lot of Hamill's I'm not familiar with, but over is a very nice album.

The Peter Hammill Over came up a few times in another recent thread (top heart break albums) so I listened to some samples and really like it ... PH sounds a bit like Gabriel ... weird thing, I have 1500 cds but NO VDGG ... maybe I need to check it out ...? Also the Hammill solo stuff seems to come up quite often here ... or maybe the solo stuff is nothing like VDGG?

I was never really sure what I was waiting for. When the moment came I was looking away ......

yeah this is amazing album, there are some genesis elements. Phil Collins sings very well. I still dont know all albums by Anthony, but his debut is better than Wise after the event, sides etc. Maybe slow dance seems to be same league... And try to private parts and pieces, especially II, III. He has a lot of stuff, it will be hard to listen whole discography in the future

well i think the first album of Hackett "Voyage of the Acolyte" its very good.

and i also like Mike Oldfield "tubular bells". MM Bill Bruford's Earthworks "Earthworks" its a very solid album more jazz influenced.
