The Fall of the House of Usher
by Peter Hammill
Adapting Edgar Allan Poe's classic gothic tale, the former Van der Graaf Generator frontman composed this ambitious, synthesizer-heavy rock opera. The dense, theatrical arrangements showcase his distinctive vocal delivery and lifelong fascination with dark, literary themes.
