Peter Hammill

I lost touch with the old boy around about Enter K, (up till then I'd got all his records so didn't that mean that I owned him to paraphrase Energy Vampyres)?

He has released several albums since then, has he stagnated or are they worth investigating? And are they available on vinyl?

I recently saw Dave JaxonSax on the local news, he was at a school with some synthesiser gizmos controlled by movement using sound waves.

I saw him recently in Norwich. It was an acoustic gig. His newer stuff seemed very 'Lloyd Weber' to me. He's had a prodigious output since Enter K - I have a smattering of albums since, most have something worthwhile on them, but I don't think he's produced a great album recently. I liked Fireships, The Noise & X my heart. But there's nothing like the early stuff. Theres a CD of wonderful BBC sessions, mostly Hammil, Jaxon, Violin and Guitar. Wonderful stuff.
