	Peter Hammill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill (born 5 November 1948) is an English singer-songwriter, and a founder member of progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator.
		Peter Hammill was born in Ealing, west London, and moved with his family to Derby when he was 12[1].
		Hammill's influence can also be found in early Marillion albums; his Fool's Mate and Over albums are found on the bedroom scene of Fugazi, and much of the vocal delivery of Fish stems from Hammill's influence.

	The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Peter Hammill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Peter Hammill is one of the great underrated musical forces in British music--he's been composing and gigging since he was 16, first with his band, Van der Graaf Generator, as well as solo.
		Hammill fans are an emotive lot, and if you ask 10 of them for their verdict on any one album, like as not you'll get 10 different opinions.
		Hammill takes on pretty much all the instruments, here, as well as dealing out some extraordinary electronic sounds, and the result is a raw, rough-edged and difficult album, but one that rewards listening to those who dare.

		Peter Hammill was born in November 1948 in London.
		Their complex music was as often brutal as it was lyrical; barely-controlled chaos and a sense of sonic adventure were the primary characteristics of the band's chequered nine-album career.
		As a direct result of the diversity of his interests and styles Peter's work has never lent itself readily to pigeonholing; nor has it ever been generally noted as either easy or fashionable (except among fellow writers and musicians, a bewildering variety and number of whom have cited him as a major influence).

	Peter Hammill [www.progweed.net]
		Peter Hammill's solo work and with prog legends Van Der Graaf Generator has been like a revelation to me. He is probably my favorite lyricist and singer of all time.
		Peter Hammill's solo debut is also one of his weaker albums, made up of short, poppy ditties that were an intentional departure from his work with Van Der Graaf Generator.
		This is the first Peter Hammill solo album after the reunification of Van Der Graaf Generator, and lyrical themes that were explored throughout the Still Life album, most explicitly on the classic track "La Rossa", are given more intimate and detailed attention on this, one of Hammill's finest solo efforts.

		Hammill's songs have always contained - and been driven by, whatever the arrangements - some of the most literate, probing and sophisticated lyrics in the history of rock (or any other) music.
		Peter Hammill is one of rocks most unique and inspirational figures sophisticated, demanding material, iconoclastic attitude, and a voice that goes from angelic entreaty to majestic guttural roar, rivalling rocks best.
		It is said that the "In camera" proccess run paralell to the Peter's brother comma.Possibly and sadly it fed partly the paranoid and tortured spirit/atmosphere of this unknown masterpiece.

		A remark by Johnny Rotten citing Peter Hammill's Nadir's Big Chance as an influence cast a brief but bright UK hip-media spotlight on an artist who has otherwise spent most of his long career in the shadows.
		The most influential and best remembered of these is the 1975 LP (Hammill's fifth) for which he assumed the identity of "anarchic" teenager Rikki Nadir.
		Hammill has continued to churn out solo LPs (even to this day with the help of ex-VdGG people, as well as ex-Vibrators guitarist John Ellis).

	Peter Hammill's Fie! Records
		In the ethos of the group - one to which Peter has continued to subscribe since its demise - there was a marked aversion to the categorization of any sort; barely controlled chaos and a sense of adventure, rather than pomp, were the primary characteristics of their chequered nine album career.
		Peter has been noted for his words (and his care with and for them) since the beginning of his thirty-six year long career; in this continuous 42 minute song cycle his lyrics examine instances of language failing to work or to communicate...the impossibilities of words, where meaning, logic and intention fall apart into incoherence.
		Peter finished the final mix on this project at 5pm on December 5th 2003; forty-two hours later he had a heart attack, from which he is currently recovering.

		Born Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill, November 5, 1948, in Ealing, London, to parents of fairly good means, Peter Hammill grew up in the embrace of the Jesuit faith, an element that has continued to affect and influence his songwriting throughout his career as much as his studies of philosophy and art....
		Hammill took some time to record Over, an intense solo set going over the breakup of his long-standing relationship, performing a set of songs that alternately raged and offered up a bleak view of life.
		Hammill returned to his solo efforts again, initially choosing to record A Black Box by himself, but then adopting a band approach for a number of subsequent releases.

	Peter Hammill - Incoherence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Peter Hammill is known to many as an erudite man, thinking a little -or a lot even- further than your basic songwriter does.
		Even though Hammill in the notes refers to the songs being finitely bound (and therefore incoherent), more often than not we do float from one to the next without a pause, the tracks bridged together.
		As much as I like Hammill's talent for making slow songs, this album shows that there is a lot of strength in his strong songs.

		One of the best albums ever made about the end of a relationship and the trauma that results, Over is the harrowing document of the failure of a long-term relationship Peter Hammill had been in.
		With a brief side-step to examine the loss felt by parents when their children move out ("Autumn"), Hammill exposes feelings of guilt, rage, betrayal, attempts at understanding, and attempts at healing.
		Beautifully produced, Over is Peter Hammill at his musical and lyrical best.

		The tunes vary from whimsical nonsense like "Imperial Zeppelin" to atmospheric tone poems like "Viking." Hammill's piano playing and acoustic guitar work are both expressive, even when sparse.
		Hammill himself has said that these songs, often performed by the band in their earlier incarnations, were recorded as a way of putting them to rest before they became too distant in feel to interpret.
		Hammill's solo career stretches toward present day, but this early LP has it's own feel.

	Peter Hammill - Typical
		Yes, typical of Hammill to release an album of his solo material even saying that The Future Now is an encore, but having it harbour much more: Van der Graaf Generators' Afterwards, Darkness 11/11 and Central Hotel from Sitting Targets.
		This probably is largely due to the fact that these are not easy songs to play and also the way he tries to fill up the melodies with extra motives.
		Recorded in 1992, this album is a rather naked introduction to the music of Peter Hammill.
