Album Description
Available in:
In Camera was the fourth solo album from the English singer-songwriter Peter Hammill. It was released in July 1974. Much of the material was recorded in Hammill's home studio on simple four-track equipment. He then took the tapes to Trident Studios, where additional elements such as drumming from Van der Graaf Generator colleague Guy Evans, and layers of ARP 2600 analogue synthesizer were added. The album has a predominantly dark, gothic, claustrophobic feel, with the lyrics laced with apocalyptic, religious and existential imagery. "Gog" is a particularly intense and demonic song, featuring (even by Hammill's standards) strident and aggressive vocals, grandiose harmonium chords, and powerful drumming. This segués into "Magog", which is virtually a musique concrète piece of sinister drones, percussive noises, and including a ring modulated spoken vocal. Songs such as "Ferret and Featherbird" and "Again" are gentler offerings, and Hammill refers to the first as "something approaching a 'sweet' song".
User Album Review
In Camera is an intense, knotty work that baffles just as it was about to soothe, shocks and diverts as it approaches anything linear. "Tapeworm, Again" and "The Comet, The Course, The Tail" are absolute highlights. The virtually unlistenable, yer actual musique concrete, "Magog (In Bromine Chambers)" is no doubt held dear by Wire-reading noise terrorists.
