Thin Air is Peter Hammill’s twenty-eighth solo album of original songs and follows an eventful few years (a heart attack in December 2003 and a hugely successful Van der Graaf Generator reunion in 2004).

Singularity, his last solo work, was released in 2006 and was acclaimed as Peter's most innovative and important release since his late 70s/early 80s masterpieces, The Future Now and A Black Box.

A fascinating and mature addition to Peter’s brilliant body of work.

Originally released in 1998, This marked a return to a more atmospheric solo music following band orientated albums such as X My Heart.

Highlights include the Ambient epic, The Light Continent, and the powerful Unrehearsed

A more song-based album than its predecessor, Roaring Forties, X My Heart, as with the majority of PH's output, remains a unique and uncompromising listen.

Dating from 1994, Roaring Forties combines Hammill's disparate passions for noise, beauty and epic ambition.

The 'beast' to Fireships 'beauty', The Noise was the first and only entry in Peter Hammill's 'A Loud' series.

The Noise finds PH on harder hitting and more Rock-orientated form than usual and, in some ways, acts as a 1990s extension of his earlier work with the K Group.

Originally released in 1992, Fireships was the first release on Peter Hammill's own Fie! Records label and was also the first (and last!) release in the 'BeCalm' series.

Operating at the gentler and more introspective end of PH's output, Fireships is one of the most melodic and highly regarded albums of his long and varied career.

Patience was Peter Hammill's second album with the K Group and is very much a conceptual companion to its predecessor, Enter K.

Perhaps richer and more complex, the album contains Hammill signature song Labour Of Love, poignant ballad Just Good Friends and the menacing closer, Patient.

1982's Enter K was Peter Hammill's first album with the K Group (featuring PH, alongside ex Vibrator John Ellis and former Van Der Graaf Generator members, Nic Potter and Guy Evans).

A powerful and lean album, combining Hammill's idiosyncratic style with the Post Punk spirit of the age, Enter K contains the classic ballad Don't Tell Me and the epic Happy Hour.

Features the non-album b-side, Seven Wonders.
