Angleterre  -  rock progressif  -  **** 

 


Une référence progressive même s'il n'eut pas la renommée
d'un  
Yes  ou d'un  Genesis ,
avec un style personnel, tourmenté, plus sombre, plus allumé,
une musique dramatique et puissante, intimiste, sensible,
menée de main de maître par  
Peter Hammill  ( voix, textes ),
des albums de référence !!!
2005, grand retour après 27 années d’absence !
