Hammill,peter - All That Might Have Been - Music CD

This is not a disc of conventional songs, though the fragments from which it's formed originally came from discrete examples of the standard form. Written and recorded over an 18 month period - the longest ever for a PH solo work - the album has gone through many transformations before arriving in this final form. It's not a concept album as such but it's use of jagged soundscapes and elusive plotlines place it closer to a cinematic world than a narrative song one. The sound palate consists of guitars, synths, crushed beats and, of course, insistent vocals. This is unlike Peter has attempted before.
