"Peter Hammill is another unrecognised English musical genius. Perhaps the first to recognise that the voice is another instrument to experiment with. Still Life just resonates with pain, wonder, melancholy and hope. No weak songs, but the title track and Childhood's end are masterpieces." Reply

"Hey, so I have not listened to the album yet. And I am sure it would be worth my time. But I have to ask two questions (1) Are all these songs really BEA 90+ quality or has a little magic happened here? (2) Is this album anything like Benji by Sun Kil Moon?" Reply

"Sounds like Porcupine Tree in Master's Apprentices for a while. Predicts the album Storm Corrosion well! This is a fun ride indeed!" Reply
"Less of an album to listen to and more of an album to invite into your presence, allowing it to accompany you as you walk, or sleep, or write, etc. It's like the corners of a painting and you get to be the centre." Reply

"Not good as Back In Black yes, but it's still a fine album. The title track, Inject The Venom, and Evil Walks are my favorites." Reply

"These guys seem to have such a playful attitude towards making music that words fail me in trying to grasp the essence of it. Just their choice of instruments oozes good-will and playfulness: basitars and guitbasses. :) Playfulness in general - and in music creation particularly - is so incredibl..." [+] Reply
