The Third solo record from peter it was probably the zenith of his creativity stilled linked to the first great era of progressive music witch began to change a few years after this release! The entire band plays on this record including Sprit's guitarist randy california who died trying to save his son from drowning ( not confirmed) years later! Peters lyrics, guys drumming, Hugh keyboards and davids sax's and flute's are completely gothic years before the style was invented! "Red Shift " opens and the VDGG classic "A LOUSE IS NOT A HOME" proves that as a writer and artist no one can touch peter hammill, although the band broke up this reassuring record keeps the faith alive! released in 1973.

Peter Hammill ( Van Der Graaf Generator ) hit the mark with this solo album. Strong Lyrics and songs that will catch your ear and make you stop and listen. "Vision" is a best of album that might be a better place to sample Hammill. Fools mate, Cameleon and Silent Corner are other great places when exploring progressive alternative music from the early 70's. Hammill has one of the most forceful voices you've ever heard anywhere!! He delivers each song with enough emotional conviction to draw you in. Some dark & depressing tunes and lyrics, as well as interesting ballad and experimental sounds await your here.
