Peter Hammill isn't half as unknown as some people think. VDGG may not have been a number one act in the UK but in Italy they really had a big following. Its even possible that if Stratton-smith had not formed Charisma to record VDGG that the world would not have had Genesis either.
"hammill's music got a point, but hard to get..." You're joking, right? It's point is about going a whole lot DEEPER than lyrics such as "Oooh baby baby" & moronic 'songs' such as "My Humps". LOL He's very smart, quite clever & handsome too!
PH is always so foward and friendly...
I think the melody of this song it so sad... it fits perfectly the VDGG mood.

most utterly fearless songwriter ever. no subject nor manner of singing it is off limits for Peter.

Any chance of uploading the entire "Time Pieces" documentary"? It is obviously never going to be rebroadcast or made available in any other form.

the piano introduction is very sweet and beatiful, it reminds me the final part of 'sharply unclear'

I met Peter a few times in the 80's, around the time this film was made. One of the nicest people I've ever met.

Wow, very heavy song. I loved VDGG. Also, very cool hair and clothes. Goes so well with the hazy English countryside footage...

I prefere VDGG than Genesis.. I'm italian and in the seventhies VDGG where very popular in Italy, it's true..
In Petere Hammill there is something unic!.. Somehow I like him more than Sptingsteen or Gabriel..
