Peter Hammill – Tears In Time (LP Vinyl)

Peter Hammill has spent decades operating at the far edge of progressive rock, first as the creative engine behind Van der Graaf Generator and then through a solo catalog that rewards the patient and curious. *Tears in Time*, originally released in 2005, finds him in characteristically introspective territory, where his fractured piano arrangements and unsparing lyrics do the heavy lifting. For listeners who followed him through the dense, dark corridors of *Pawn Hearts* or *In Camera*, this one fits naturally into a body of work that never compromises.
