Parallel
Or 90 Degrees
The
two musicians Andy Tillison Diskdrive and Guy Manning comprise
Parallel
Or 90 Degrees, or Gold Frankincense & Disk Drive as they more
correctly
were called when they recorded most of this music in 1992,
originally
issued on cassette.
As the title indicates, we are talking
Peter Hammill-tracks (five Hammill compositions
to be precise). Production-wise it is not too
sound. On the other hand, the
appropriate combination of
They never wander far from the originals, but
gloomier atmosphere than Hammill himself
Not all the details and variations in the world, but they attack
"Modern"
as it it were a fire-breathing dragon, and "In The Black Room"
is
presented with plummets. And not least, here is a version of "Flight"
definitely
without a safety net. And the two original songs fit nicely
in
with the rest of the material.
This
unceremonious (but dead serious) tribute to a tragically underrated
artist
is done with affection and insight, and there are lot worse ways
to
spend a good hour than crawling into your best chair with this CD on
full
volume. Recommended to all fans of Hammill, and all others for that
sake.
