Which or plethora peter hammill's album do you like the most. I never heard the fall of the house of ushers, and the last work I followed was X-my heart. Out of those I have I like the most the following: in chronologigal order: foolsmate chameleon... silent corner... pH7 as close as this out of water fireships

in no particular order: In Camera,Over, Chameleon, Silent Corner and Fool's mate. Actually five of his first six. Did not really appreciate Nadir's . Too punky but the middle tracks are ok. Not familiar enough with his latter stuff but House Of The Usher is ok. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I've only heard "Chameleon...", but if it's anything to go by, it won't remain that way for long!

Agreed , Silent Corner is probably his best. Although rather uneven, Over has some of his most solemn moments: Time Heals , Alice , Betrayed and Yoga are so strong that even Nick Drake can go back to the drawing table to re-invent personal wounded songs. But Alice (and its awful strings) and the opening track are pure boredom. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

As good as the 70s solo albums were, they were mostly a continuation of VDGG by any other means (which is no bad thing). ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |
