X my Heart
 |
X my Heart (1996) starts off bravely with an acapella version of the final closing song, A Better Time. Inbetween we have a variety of songs, veering in style from “the calm” to “the noise”, but with Hammill blurring that division.
The music ranges from the immediately impressive to the perplexing. Typically Hammill, really. Whereas other ’90s albums by Hammill, such as Roaring Forties and This have been quite accessible, X My Heart may need time to grow on you. |
Standout tracks: Ram Origami; Material Possession; and the simply lovely lyrics of Earthbound.
