Peter Hammill and Guy Evans in 1988's Spur of the Moment [flac temporary]

 


Well, here's a guy who needs no introduction as they love to introduce the famous...

This is I suppose improvised given the title, but the music is really truly interesting, not too abstract, with enough to hold on to make it well worth listening to. It's such a surprised given it came out in the year 1988. You can see that in addition to the VDGG people, a composer called Paul Ridout contributed compositions. Since the super useful internet archive is down for the moment, hopefully not permanently (shut down by one of our billionaire overlord kings, perhaps Elon himself personally ordered it?), I'll like youtube which has everything almost anyways but less accessible in general, link for this one here. I love the dramatic sound to it.

This album for sure takes over from The Long Hello, Vol. 4 stuff but is far far more thoughtfully complex. At times, like the description, it is indeed experimental, information here.

Another track I appreciated, called An Imagined Brother youtubed in link.
