Album Notes Amazingly, Peter Hammill delivers yet another strong studio album, his fourth in the 2000s, and once again different than the previous two or three. THIN AIR may be less experimental than SINGULARITY (the previous one), but it is bleaker -- and a more cohesive, consistent artistic proposition. You will find neither light track nor rock song on this one: only acoustic guitar or piano-based songs about deception, secrecy, world domination, and coming undone. THIN AIR has fans agreeing more than disagreeing about its merits, and that speaks volumes about the quality of this album, one of the man's top efforts. It's even a good place to dig into Hammill's sizeable discography, as you get a taste of his intensity, without the raw turn-your-heart-inside-out of his live performances.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- THIN AIR is powerful, resonant and challenging, yet also open and accessible. Record Collector
