PATIENCE

A companion piece to Enter K - naturally, since it's the other studio album Hammill recorded with the K Group - Patience sees Hammill continuing his New Wave experimentations, with tracks such as Train Time rivalling the rhythmic experiments of Talking Heads and the 80s incarnation of King Crimson. Between the two, I mildly prefer Enter K with its David Jackson guest appearances, but this piece is still pretty excellent - although Hammill's career would soon enter an extremely patchy and inconsistent period. Worth a try for anyone who enjoys Talking Heads, the 80s King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and other artists who combined New Wave and prog sensibilities at around this time.
