I also like the cover of that album:
 
 
It is what I imagine the security at Porton Down to be like. Nuke
 
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Peter Hammill is one of my favourite solo artists besides Peter Gabriel.

It's a hard choice between "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" and "In Camera".

"In Camera" contains pure darkness, especially the last 2 tracks have a long lasting effect on my mood. It wins slightly over "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" because of its consistency which has been disturbed by the too folky track "Rubicon".

In the phase of the late 70's, I appreciate The Future Now which is the considerably more experimental and daring effort than "pH7" which suffers from a more acoustic and conventional approach in terms of songwriting.

And my secret highlight is "Sitting Targets" -  a perfectly balanced album which entails both sides of Peter Hammill's qualities.

I like Sitting Targets. The track Stranger Still speaks to me personally.
