Newly remastered 4CD box set by Peter Hammill featuring his first four studio albums issued on his own label, Fie! Records, between 1992 and 1996. Peter Hammill first came to prominence as the founding member and voice of the legendary progressive rock group Van der Graaf Generator. Alongside his work with Van der Graaf Generator, Peter Hammill has enjoyed a long career as an innovative and ground-breaking solo artist. In 1992 he established his own label, Fie!, to handle his solo work, beginning with the release of the acclaimed 'Fireships' that year. A more introspective work, the album was labelled in the original liner notes as "Number 1 in the BeCalm series" and received much critical praise thanks to songs such as 'I Will Find You', 'Curtains' and 'Gaia'. In 1993 Peter issued the more rock-orientated album 'The Noise' (stated at the time as being "Number 1 in the A Loud series"). 1995 saw the release of another excellent work, 'Roaring Forties', which included the extended composition 'A Headlong Stretch'. 'X My Heart', issued in March 1996, was another fine work and included songs such as 'Amnesiac' and 'A Better Time'. This collection features newly remastered versions of these albums along with an illustrated booklet with unseen photographs and liner notes by Peter Hammill.
