Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written entirely in the grueling aftermath of a collapsed long-term relationship, Peter Hammill's 'Over' is a profoundly devastating, deeply poetic masterclass in raw emotional exorcism. The Van der Graaf Generator frontman strips back his usual progressive bombast for an incredibly sad, fiercely passionate art-rock reflection on profound loneliness and depressive romantic decay.
