The Fireships album, to my mind, is Peter Hammill's masterpiece. He finally eschewed that aimless jazz-prog noodling in favour of strong melodies. Gone are the tuneless screeching sax noises, and raspy high-pitch shouting that marred his earlier work.
Нашим: это просто пиздец! вслушайтесь в текст, в интонации, в смысл....To not ours: its a miracle song! can you only hear a lyrics...so touchable, & so soft...so painfull & so needfull...oh! that intonations! they are speak from skyes! there speak for the Universe with all of it unimaginable sounds...uncomprehensible voices....incoumparable meanings....Peter Hammil..- 2 W...Peter Hammil...ONLY
Hi blerking! Hammil's music is not for everyone actyally...and i'm glad that You appreciate His creation. & It's a very gladness fact that You come to love with it. It cannot be described...In Any language
I accidentially stumbeled over his music two days ago. Wonder why I have never heard about this guy, cus his music is great. Is he a household name in UK?
In the 70's he was in progressive rock band Van Der Graaf Generator (VDGG). After the break up of the group, he has recorded highly emotional albums like AND CLOSE AS THIS, IN A FOREING TOWN, SKIN, FIRESHIPS.
Even in the 70's he recorded great "solo" stuff (with his band VDGG): THE FUTURE NOW, CHAMELEON IN THE SHADOW OF THE NIGHT, THE SILENT CORNER AND THE EMPTY STAGE.
With such uncommercial music, it was expected that he would be broadly unknown, but he is great.

Hi Rinlew! Thank you for your input. I know about VDGG and maybe it was via my interest for their great music I found out about Peter Hammill.
I have some of his albums now and most of them are excellent.
