Experience a unique and compelling chapter in the career of art-rock visionary Peter Hammill with Room Temperature Live. Originally released in 1990 by Enigma Records, this double-disc live album captures Hammill’s North American and European tour across venues in the US, UK, and Canada. Eschewing the traditional rock setup, Hammill presents a "chamber-music" aesthetic that favors raw intensity over polished production.
Accompanied by Stuart Gordon on violin and former Van der Graaf Generator bassist Nic Potter on acoustic bass, the performances are defined by a stripped-down, lean sound. The absence of a drum kit creates a "ragged, weary intimacy," allowing Hammill’s intense vocal delivery and vulnerable arrangements to take center stage. Reviewers highlight this atmosphere as a hauntingly effective shift for his art-rock repertoire, offering a new dimension to his storied catalog.
