A Black Box by Peter Hammill

After his eighth solo album pH 7 (one of P.H.'s more aggressive) Peter returns to something more contemplative in 1980

using synth sounds 'n claviatures more frequent as a wall-to-wall carpet than he peppered pH 7 with. However it's clear to me Hammill is an organist rather than a guitar man.
