OK this is kind of a different thread, but I'll get right to the point. I think Refugees is an amazing song, but ruined by bad production. The only version I know and listen to, is the one off of At Least We Can Wave to Each Other. Am I the only one who hears the high pitched feedback squeals when Peter Hammill sings? It's almost so bad that the beautiful song is not listenable. I was just wondering if there's a better STUDIO version, or remaster of the album that I didn't know of. |

I just played the song off of you tube (I'm at work...) from the original album....it doesn't sound like feedback 'squeals' to me , but then I think most of Hammill's singing leaves much to be desired anyway. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| That depends - there are 2 versions - one runs for 5:20 (I have this on a comp. album entitled Repeat Performance) and the other, superior version runs to about 6 1/2 minutes, which I have on Least We Can Do (pink scroll Charisma release). The same goes for White Hammer - more reverb and the cornet is mixed differently (or is a total different take ?) Don't know about the squeal - I must check them both out. |

| I do love this song, and I hear nothing wrong with it, production or performance-wise. I may check it out later on again, but it sounds just fine to me. |

Yes, I agree with you. Hammill's singing is not really my cup of tea.

H to He is worth it ... and a great primer of what PH will become and do. And it has Robert Fripp on it, too! I specially like "House With No Door" but there are other great pieces in that album!

I'm fine with them as long as they convert to our religion and don't steal our jobs and women. |
