Incoherence

Description

Originally released in 2004 on CD only, ‘Incoherence’ was formed of 14 songs that were all linked together to form one continuous piece of music, the first time in many years that Peter Hammill had taken this approach. All the pieces had a common lyrical focus on miscommunication and failures of language. Upon its release, the album was highly praised by both fans and critics and is one of Peter’s most acclaimed later works. This Esoteric Recordings 2CD edition features Peter’s new ‘continuous’ mix along with a CD of his mixes of the individual songs with fully restored artwork and is a definitive edition of one of Peter Hammill’s great works.
