Roaring Forties
 |
Roaring Forties (1994) is a stunning return to form for Peter Hammill. It is definitely his best album of the 90’s and one of his best solo efforts in his career.
From the opening track Hammill shows he means business. The music has the wide scope it once had before, with wild mood swings and changes in intensity and complexity. David Jackson’s saxophone is a valuable contribution to the overall sound of this album, and his playing is some of his best since the VDGG heyday. |
Roaring Forties clearly shows that Hammill does not intend to gradually fade out, but continue to make music that will impress and inspire and surprise his audience.
