THE AEROSOL GREY MACHINE

I know this album is always kind of disregarded and ignored by many (Hammill included?) but all in all, it's fantastic! Personally, I love the beginnings of the art rock bands, when they were finding their legs and starting to create their own sound. This is an album of just that. There are traces of a psychedelic hangover and yet glimpses of the amazing yet to come. Surely "Afterwards" ranks as one of not only Hammill's most beautiful songs, but one of the true gems of the psych/prog era. Obviously, not anywhere near as 'heavy' as they would become, but a unique voice in iteself. 100% recommended!
