Heater Panel at full flow: love his vibrato and falsetto, and his falsetto vibrato too, of course.

In Camera is Peter's best solo album. Discuss.

@neckercube1:

That's a really difficult choice. I always felt that In Camera was overwhelmed by Gog/Magog, and in turn let down by those tracks. However, the remastered version includes the three Peel Session masterpeices, and those three tracks could indeed turn it into the best solo album. Excluding bonus tracks, my own choice would probably be 'The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage', but there are so many great songs on the first four (solo) albums that I cannot easily decide.

@neckercube1:

Another favourite of mine is the live "Skeletons of Songs", and also "Typical", because live and solo without the overdubbing, engineering and orchestration is definitely my favourite way of listening to PH.

[neckercube1]

@professoricon I suppose it's an impossible dilemma, very subjective. The reason I raised the point was that all the 'songs' on In Camera are exceptional and, to my mind, find Hammill at a creative peak (solo-wise). As for Gog/Magog? Yes, not sure if it stands up well to the test of time (and repeated plays). Probably one of the most diverse (and risky?) things he's done. More of a soundscape. But, again, perhaps it's that which makes In Camera that bit special?

Oh! To be the captain of a ship of war!

[hammill88]

questa versione dal vivo è particolarmente bella, molto delicata, direi intimistica

Versione acustica di questo meraviglioso brano.

最初に買ったアルバムが「In Camera」だったので、個人的にこの曲がハミル先生のヴォー­カルの破壊性と悲哀感における代表作になっています。あのフリッ­プ先生のソロで聞かれる曲には涙します。日本のコンサートでも熱­狂しました。

Hammill at his best

[mamelaurent]

Hamill's Peel Sessions Maybe the best PeelSessions ever!! and definitely Hammil at his best!!

[DAJAROO]

i like the original album version (in camera) better. it's more dramatic than this. still nice though!

[TeoOrlando]

The verses "It's a hallmark of adulthood/

that our options diminish/as our faculties for choice increase,/till we choose everything and nothing,/too late, at the finish." are truly profound and impressive.

The minutes from 4:02 to 5.45 are very chilling and breathtaking.

This song is an outstanding masterpiece!

[professoricon]

I just love this performance so much.

[roroguitar]

Can you please stay away from spamming?

We have all seen the available videos, we got all the records. All you do is spam spam spam I makes me want to puke. There is nothing new you offer, EVER. Spam Spam Spam.

[professoricon]

This version is slightly rare because until recently it was only available on a deleted live album, and only now is available as a bonus track on a recently released remastered album.
