Description

Fireships ‎(LP, Album, TP). Chámeleon, Fie! Records. Fireships ‎(CD, Album). Lively Art, Lively Art. ARTYCD 41, 422416.

This is the 25th studio album by Peter Hammill, released on his Fie! label in 1998. There is a large variety in the compositions, ranging from the minimalism of the final song, "The Light Continent", to the rough, almost Nadir-like sound of "Always is Next", the complex "Unrehearsed" and the ballad "Since the Kids". Peter Hammill performed the song "Unrehearsed" live many times. Nightman" can be heard on the live-album Veracious (2006).

Fireships is one of Hammill's most consistently quiet, intimate works; a collection of relationship odes similar in mood to 1984's The Love Songs. Hammill, even at his most reflective, is highly poetic and intense. Each of the nine numbers is given ample room to breathe, with most ranging between 5 and 7 minutes.

Exclusively for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). Curtains' proves that Hammill's storytelling talent is not lost simply because of the more direct, soft acoustic approach. I prefer this album to some of its followers such as 'Everyone you hold' and 'This'. A nice album to put on and sing along to, when you're in the mood. 6 people found this helpful.

Fireships is the 19th studio album by English singer and songwriter Peter Hammill. Originally released in 1992, it was the first release on Hammill's own Fie! Records label. It was reissued in remastered form in 2006. The sleeve notes label the album "Number 1 in the BeCalm series", and its songs are generally at the gentler, more introspective end of Hammill's work. Hammill's next album, the more rocking The Noise (1993), was similarly labelled as "Number 1 in the A Loud series"  . All tracks by Peter Hammill, except where noted.
