Description

Two CDs. This Esoteric Recordings edition of features Peter's new continuous" mix along with a CD of his mixes of the individual songs with fully restored artwork and is a definitive edition of one of Peter Hammill's great works. Originally released in 2004 on CD only, 'Incoherence' was formed of 14 songs that were all linked together to form one continuous piece of music, the first time in many years that Peter Hammill had taken this approach. All the pieces had a common lyrical focus on miscommunication and failures of language. Upon it's release, the album was highly praised by both fans and critics and is one of Peter's most acclaimed later works. 'Incoherence' was completed immediately prior to Peter suffering a heart attack. After taking some time out to recuperate. He now explains: "When I returned to the studio, I didn't really have the inclination to go back over the mixes, so 'Incoherence' was eventually released with the original ones. At a certain point I began considering a vinyl release for the album and realised that I'd have to do some element of a remix in order to find a split point. When I went back to look at the tracks, I got the idea that I could now do a much better job of a mix than I'd originally done. So, gradually, I pressed on with it. I also decided that this time it would be interesting to have a version of the album split up into the individual songs, finally exposing the original start and end points. ""
