So this is how oilmen feel when a new well gushes up. I stumble upon a new musical world, and it's all feverish excitement to plumb the depths. Somehow my youthful absorption of proggy sounds sidestepped Van Der Graaf Generator and the rich world of Peter Hammill solo albums (with the exception of the glammy, proto-punk Nadir's Big Chance). I'm just now correcting this, and I'm all happily awash in Hammill's work, particularly the albums that incorporated a new wave influence with minimal embarrassment. I'm not sure what's 'blague-worthy yet, but this one has had my ear. Maybe it's because the outro synths sound like little fishes swimming upstream.Peter Hammill - Breakthrough
