Peter Hammill hit the mark with this solo album. Strong Lyrics and songs that will catch your ear and make you stop and listen. Hammill has one of the most forceful voices you've ever heard anywhere!! He delivers each song with enough emotional conviction to draw you in. Some dark & depressing tunes and lyrics, as well as interesting ballad and experimental sounds await your ear. Silent Corner And The Empty Stage is in the zenith of the bands creativity, linked to the first great era of progressive music. The entire band plays on this record including Spirit's guitarist Randy California. Hammills lyrics, Guy's drumming, Hugh's keyboards and Davids sax's and flute's are completely gothic years before the style was invented! The extremely psychedelic "Red Shift " (dig the warbly vocal effects) opens, and the VDGG classic "A LOUSE IS NOT A HOME" proves that, as a writer and artist, no one can touch Peter Hammill.
