FOOL'S MATE

This is an album that should be an interest for the VDGG/Hammill fan. It does not strike me as being as strong as what he did with VDGG or what he would later do on his more accomplished solo albums, however it does have a sort of good thing going in its own right. This basically sounds like the songs that were to happy or personal for VDGG. It is pretty good and in particular I love the beautiful song "Vision" which is some of Peters most emotional singing. The songs are more major key and up tempo than a lot of the VDGG songs, but they still have a very similar sound. I would recommend this to a fan but not as a starting point.
