Silent Corner & Empty Stage
 |
If Chameleon was a stunning work, then Hammill surpassed himself with The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (1974). It is arguably Peter Hammill’s best solo work.
The musicians aren’t named on the album cover, but it’s so obviously VDGG in full throttle. Randy California guests on guitar. |
Ranging from quiet introspection to manic overdrive, songs like …
Modern;
The Lie (Bernini’s Saint Theresa);
Red Shift, and
A Louse Is Not A Home,
… are all classic Hammill.
Indispensable & essential.
