Peter Hammill, a British singer, songwriter, and musician, holds a significant place in the history of progressive rock. As the frontman and driving creative force of Van der Graaf Generator, he played a pivotal role in crafting some of the most powerful and captivating rock music of the 1970s. Since the band's reformation in 2005, Hammill has remained at the helm, guiding VdGG down a distinct musical path. However, his musical journey extends beyond VdGG.
Beginning with the album Fool's Mate in 1971 and spanning until 2021's In Translation, Hammill has embarked on a remarkable solo career that has yielded an impressive 35 albums, along with several live albums and collaborations. The diverse range of styles showcased on these albums is truly remarkable, encompassing baroque progressive rock, snotty proto-punk, angular new wave, delicate ballads, electronic experiments, and even a full-length opera.
This groundbreaking book is the first to delve into the depths of Peter Hammill's solo discography, unveiling the sonic intensity and emotional turmoil that lie at the core of his artistic expression. It serves as an invaluable companion to Dan Coffey's comprehensive work on Van der Graaf Generator: every album, every song, already published by Sonicbond Publishing. By exploring Hammill's solo work, readers gain a deeper understanding of his artistic evolution and the profound impact he has made on the world of progressive rock.
