Loud, powerful and energetic music, balanced by poetical and clever lyrics. "The Entertainer" is an immediate success while "The Noise" is a prime example of Hammill's style of rhythmic and arrhythmic rock. A stab-in-the-back for the materialistic '90s society is cleverly disguised in the almost-pop "Great European Department Store," and the Finale -- the slowly building, haunting "Primo on the Parapet" -- reminds us to remember the past. Another unforgettable collection from Mr. Hammill. ~ Ali Sinclair UK remastered reissue of the Van Der Graaf Generator singer/songwriter's 1993 solo album. The Noise" was recorded at Terra Incognita, Peter's studio in Bath, in 1992. It followed on from the Calm CD, Fireships and was flagged at the time as being number one in the A Loud series.
