Talk:The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage

Reviews
I have substituted the Progarchives link with two reviews from renowned sources. The main motivation for this was to balance the poor AMG review. Basicly I'm not into placing too many reviews on these pages, but I couldn't leave this album with the ridiculous 3 stars. --Peter Eisenburger 15:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Cover scan
I've replaced Peter's scan with my earlier one, since mine shows the cover as it was originally (without the album title showing). --Richardrj talkemail 09:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Your uploaded picture "Hammill Silent.jpg" has been removed by s/o - I don't know the reason. So I replaced it with my scan "Peter Hammill The Silent Corner.jpg" again. Feel free to use the historic cover again. --Peter Eisenburger 15:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Peter. I've restored the original scan now. --Richardrj talkemail 08:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * In album cover have a great subliminal message. :-)

"A Louse Is Not A Home" reminiscent of Usher?
Come to think of it, I've removed the remark about "A Louse Is Not A Home" being reminiscent of Poe's story Usher. Why would anyone state that? Because in the lyrics it says: "Sometimes it's very scary here" and in the title it says: "House"? That's way too little. I have the feeling that the sentence was added to show that Hammill has oh so very much literary influence in his work and that he is oh so much of an intellectual. If that is so (I think it is ;-) ), it should be in the article about Hammill, not here. To me "A Louse Is Not A Home" is about identity, loss of identity, struggling with the question "who am I" etc. Not particularly an aspect of Poe's story Usher I feel. For a comparison between Hammill's and Smith's opera Usher on the one hand and Poe's story on the other, please read the book "The House Is I" by Dagmar Klein (1998, ISBN 0 9524725 1 1).

 * I disagree - from the gothic musical style and general lyrical content, it is a clear nod to Poe's Usher story, and the fact that Hammill later went on to do a full-blown "opera" about it is more circumstantial evidence. Sadly I don't have a reference for a quote of Hammill actually talking about it though.--feline1 (talk) 13:17, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
