    Featuring PH (vox, guitars, keyboards), Manny Elias (drums), Nic Potter (bass), John Ellis (guitar) and David Jackson (sax, flute), The Noise was recorded at Terra Incognita, Peter's studio in Bath, in 1992.

    It followed on from the 'calm' CD, Fireships and was flagged at the time as being number one in the A Loud series. If the idea of grouping releases together in this way was one which quickly foundered, at least in this case it gave an indication of the general tenor of these songs. 

    They're not quite Nadir-like in their attack but a fair amount of 'bash-that-electric-guitar' does take place here. If anything, the original release erred on the side of sonic correctness at the expense of level; the remastering of this version puts this right and the amps are definitely turned up this time. 

    A couple of songs here subsequently became firm live favourites: 'Planet Coventry' and 'Primo on the Parapet.'  Another song, 'The Noise' itself, clearly celebrates the joy of making a racket on stage.  With the forthcoming prospect of the Van der Graaf Generator reunion it remains to be seen exactly how much of a noise PH is still prepared to make.

    The remaster/reissue of this CD certainly puts down a pointer....

    Now newly remastered by Peter Hammill and including the bonus track, 'Seven Wonders.'   "Enter K is very much a hybrid set of recordings which makes up a pair with Patience. 

    By the time of recording the k group was in full effect, having been formed to tour with songs from 'Sitting Targets' and 'A Black Box.'  As I've said elsewhere, not exactly a Beat Group but probably the closest ensemble I've ever been in which would come under that category.

    The personnel on 'k' are, of course, The K Group - Guy Evans, John Ellis and Nick Potter - with additional contributions from David Jackson.  

    The masters were evidently originally intended for vinyl, still the only game in town at that time. In the new remastering I've attempted to apply the same sonic processing as washed over the VdGG Box set and, indeed, The Margin +; I hope that the end result gives back some analogue oomph to the digital experience." - PH

    Peter Hammill 'From the Trees'

    £11.99

    Peter's first solo album for three years is an intimate affair.

    The songs are for the most part based on single piano, guitar and vocal parts, designed for live performance. (Indeed, many of these songs have already been performed on stage.)

    Overdubbing is textural - no percussion, supportive guitars, a central spine of bass, synth and string washes; many extra voices - backing, harmony, choral - behind the main one.

    The characters who pave their fretful way through these songs are in general facing up to or edging in towards twilight. What's coming to them are moments of realisation rather than resignation. In the third act of life it's time to look with a clear eye at where one's been, at where one's going.

    Tracklisting:
    1. My Unintended
    2. Reputation
    3. Charm Alone
    4. What Lies Ahead
    5. Anagnorisis
    6. Torpor
    7. Milked
    8. Girl to the North Country
    9. On Deaf Ears
    10. The Descent
