Peter Hammill spent forty-five years declaiming stentorian English experimental rock. Gary Lucas traded avant-blues tongues with Captain Beefheart and co-wrote the explosive ballads that branded Jeff Buckley.
Their unlikely collaboration ought to fail. Lucas draws ghostly delta guitar shapes in air, while the Van Der Graaf Generator frontman, who usually appears shrouded in incense clouds of cathedral organ or sepulchral piano, stands naked, intoning significant statements.
Momentarily their trajectories overlap, incandesce brilliantly, and drift apart again.
