As interesting as stuff like Marillion's <i>Less Is More</i> is, I doubt I'll ever give it more than a cursory listen because it didn't add anything to the originals. Then you get stuff like, say, Peter Hammill's live takes on his recorded output, because while the studio versions may have been with a full band (or four different PHs thanks to the magic of multitrack recording), in a live setting it's just a man, his voice, and his piano/guitar.<br /><br />I'd be interested to read a follow-up from you after you've had time to digest a bit more of RPWL's material to find out if you go back to the second disc at all, or if the originals hold up better to your ears.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272800727647598522noreply@blogger.com
