Peter Hammill - ...all that might have been... (2014) [3CD Deluxe Edition] {Fie! Records}



Peter Hammill - ...all that might have been... (2014) [3CD Deluxe Edition] {Fie! Records}
Rock / Art Rock / Progressive Rock / Experimental Electronic / Alternative

Three CDs in this box set. The first is the same as the "normal" CD. Secondly a "Songs version. This is much like the Vinyl version, but longer (the LP tracls had to be edited to fit time constraints) and in a different order - which, of course, produces a different narrative. Thridly a "retro" version. This is a thirty minute, amost entirle instrumental, continuous piece, which mirrors a work-in-progress CD which I took with me to Japan in September 2013 and from which, eventually, emerged, the whole idea of continuous work. A couple of musical fragments which didn't make it onto the final recordings are also present here. Two 16-page booklets give full lyricxs for each version and an explanatroy blurb runs across the back of the three individual CD booklets.
