Customer Reviews
on Peter Hammill's Sofa Sound label. It got a proper CD-release
ten years later. When I bought the tape in 1983 I already owned
the classic albums Sitting Targets, Enter K and Patience that
date from the same era. This one is quite different, heady,
experimental stuff, but it is certainly a very interesting side-
line to Hammill's work. Not a good one to start with, it is better listened to when you already know some of his other work.
Highlights are Ritual Mask (with Hammill playing the Kora,
an eastern string-instrument) and The Bells, The Bells, with
fascinating tape-loops.
Hammill admits this is one of his stranger albums, consisting of odd instrumental tunes (and two "songs"), originally written for various purposes: "A Ritual Mask" (the first track, for those who glance at the above erroneous track list) was part of a "WOMAD" collection, "The Moebius Loop", Hammill first experience with the seedy loops (...) was originally recorded for pH7, but abounded, and completed years after, especially for this collection. "In Slow Time" in an instrumental take of the song that saw light on "Black Box". Others were written as ballet music. All are even stranger than usual, and some present the listener with a real challenge.
"The Moebius Loop" is one of the best "songs" Hammill ever wrote. Although quite short, it is a lovely little piece. "The Bells! The Bells!" is another highly original track, a far cry from Hammill traditional material.
Strange, ambiented, album, but a very worthy addition to your cherished collection of Hammill albums.
