tracks by Peter Hammill
recorded from August 1993 to May 1994 for studies Terra Incognita Bath by:
Peter Hammill: guitar, piano, voice
Nic Potter: bass
Stuart Gordon: violin
Simon Clarke: organ
David Jackson: sax, flute
Manny Elias: drums
a record that you did not expect in 1994. Twenty years after the last album of VDGG (and ten years before the next), RF is a record that shows echoes and desires Progressive by Van Der Graaf Generator.
Peter Hammill has forty years, and once again proves to be unpredictable out of the logic quiet / loud that he has just encoded.
Roaring Forties , The "Roaring Forty", are the strong winds of the South (just north of the Furious Fifties ), but also are the 40 "roaring twenties" of the artist.
RF drive that would probably be perfectly managed with the help of Van Der Graaf rather than as a solo album, but it is very nice, thanks also to instrumental Jaxon, like Manny Elias, Nic Potter and Stuart Gordon.
Although this is a CD, the work is conveniently divided into two sides like an old LP, with roughly two suites seamlessly. The first side is the most easily accessible, with the energetic Sharply Unclear, The Gift Of Fire and You Can not Always Get What You Want that fit into each other with a lot of instrumental interludes, with the full band and with the chisel in the torn saxophonist David Jackson .
The "second side" is almost entirely occupied by twenty minutes of A Headlong Stretch , a classic suite at the PH model A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers (Pawn Hearts) as Flight (A Black Box) . A fascinating tour of seven different melodies, but very nude adaptation, like the aforementioned Flight.
shuts his ears Your Tall Ship , one of those great little gems of PH could also be transmitted to the radio - but they are not. The most immediate song in the texts that inspired the title of the disc, and evoking the metaphor of life's journey, this time on a ship instead of a plane ...
A disk at the same time typical and atypical, which will not be followed by a Furious Fifties, for use by all the orphans of Pawn Hearts. Somehow the more complex version of Fireships .
tracks included in the live show: Your Tall Ship, A Headlong Stretch
Board for the purchase: a good record for fans of progressive and PH VDGG .
