专辑介绍： Peter Hammill是英国流行乐史上着名的歌手兼词曲作者之一,1948年11月5日生于伦敦,全家都是基督教徒的环境，加上60年代科幻小说的新手法对他的影响,影响着他的哲学思想和艺术学习,也影响他以后的音乐创作,他的音乐风格独特,声音充满了戏剧性和想像力，深刻的力度，一字一句都是强有力的线条，让人犹如置身剧院舞台的献唱,所以他的歌曲对一些人是难以接受，难以聆听,受他影响的着名人物有Johnny Rotten,Marc Almond,Nick Cave等,1968年他在曼彻斯特大学组成了乐队Van der Graaf Generator,他是乐队的灵魂人物,在几次小型演出后,乐队1969年与Mercury Records公司出版第一张专辑 The Aerosol Grey Machine,再其后与Charisma Records公司的合约将他带进和Peter Gabriel灵魂人物之Genesis乐队同一公司,他两人是好友,他在Peter Gabriel-3和Peter Gabriel-4专辑客串和音.其实当年两乐队音乐风格也是走Progressive Rock,不过Genesis乐队的歌曲世人多接受,70年代中已名成利就,而Van der Graaf Generator(VDGG)乐队只在欧州多乐迷,这也因Peter Hammill是个哲学思想独特的自我主义者,在1975年改自己的教徒名为Rikki Nadir,不停出个人专辑,VDGG乐队到1977年又名为Van Der Graff,乐队到1978年出版现场演唱专辑Vital后解散,Peter Hammill在1982年他叫伴奏乐队名为The K Group,K就是他自己,在1991年Peter Hammill成立 Fie! Records公司来发行自已和VDGG乐队的专辑至今了, 早在1970年Peter Hammill已出版第一张个人专辑Fool's Mate,之后三十多年来共出版了几十张的个人专辑,一本诗画集 ,一合个人演唱会VHS,他和乐队VDGG共出版了十多张的专辑,两张乐队演唱DVD,今年他又和这长期合作的VDGG乐队演唱了,我是从1969年一直听他的歌曲至今,是我最喜爱歌手兼词曲作者,我文笔不好，也算是表达我对Peter Hammill的喜爱与敬意吧!现时代喜欢/接受听Peter Hammill的人应该不多,毕竟是爷爷辈了. 这张专辑发行于2004年，收录Peter Hammill九十年代的优秀作品。 转AMG评论： The Thin Man Sings Ballads compiles tracks drawn largely from Peter Hammill's '90s albums. Like The Love Songs (1984), it assembles a selection of his quieter, more contemplative numbers — an appealing concept, since some of his most powerful work has also been his most introspective. However, while this collection presents one facet of Hammill's songwriting and doesn't pretend to cover the full range of his artistry, much of this material actually underscores his weaknesses. Although Hammill places considerable emphasis on his lyrics, he occasionally seems to be going through the motions musically, as if the accompaniment were only a backdrop to the words. There's plenty of evidence of that tendency here: insipid songs like "Tenderness" suggest an artist on musical autopilot, although Hammill shows slightly more ambition on the vaguely schmaltzy chamber pop numbers "Phosphorescence" and "Astart." Elsewhere, "I Will Find You" ventures into surprisingly mainstream pop territory, with antiseptically clean production guaranteeing an instantly dated feel. Indeed, many of these tracks have the paradigmatic sound of a once-innovative musician who stopped listening to contemporary music some time ago and who continues working in a void, producing material you might hear playing at the dentist's office. The other problem with a collection of musically weak songs is that they accentuate Hammill's rare lyrical lapses — especially his tendency to articulate obvious ideas as if they were profound, original observations and to deliver them as if they were poetry, without the requisite linguistic inventiveness. Some of these songs benefit from a greater sense of dynamism and movement ("Your Tall Ship") and a stronger melodic sensibility ("A Better Time"), but they do little to salvage this collection. Hammill's uniqueness derives from his embrace of extremes: that essential characteristic of his work is lost on a compilation featuring only one side of his creative personality. 专辑曲目: 01.
