FOOL'S MATE

I take Peter Hammill solo albums for ones of the most successed prog albums, emotionaly speaking. This first, declines all the multi-faceted of human sensitivity. "Fools Mate" is more poppy & melodic than VDGG albums, however it's such pleasant & touching to listen to this album that I can't imagine to live without it. The album starts with a powerful prog rock song...but the general flavor of this release is orientated to romantic, introspective songs. Peter Hammill defenitely know how to write a great love song. MAGNIFIC.
