Spur Of The Moment

Spur Of The Moment (1988), is an improvised set played, programmed and sequenced by Hammill and Guy Evans as a collaborative work. As explained in the liner notes, the music is purposely unstructured, and was recorded from a single performance. Some of this was later remixed, but no over-dubs added.

The music itself, all instrumental, veers strongly to the avant-garde. The music isn’t soothing, but neither jarring, mostly sounding like .. well .. an unstructured improvised set by a brilliant percussionist / drummer and a pianist.

Fans expecting something more conventially Hammill, (if there is such a thing), should rather look at other albums by Hammill.
