''A Black Box'' is an album by Peter Hammill, originally released on S-Type Records in August 1980. Hammill performed nearly all the instrumentation himself, including the drum parts, a task he had first undertaken on his previous album ''pH7''. His ex-Van der Graaf Generator colleague David Jackson also made a guest appearance, along with David Ferguson of the new-wave band Random Hold, whose debut album Hammill had produced. Side 1 of the record featured a collection of songs, while side 2 was devoted to "Flight", a lengthy multi-section song. This was the first time Hammill had included a lengthy song of this type on one of his solo albums. The short-lived S-Type label (the name was a pun on "stereo-type"), on which the album was originally released, was set up by Hammill and his then manager Gail Colson. Colson had formerly been a director at Hammill's previous record company, Charisma Records, who had dropped him from their roster just prior to the recording of ''A Black Box''. The S-Type label does not appear to have been a successful business project, and the album was later licensed to Virgin Records, who have since also acquired Hammill's Charisma catalogue. ==Track listing== All songs written by Peter Hammill, except where indicated. #"Golden Promises" #"Losing Faith in Words" #"Jargon King" #"Fogwalking" #"The Spirit" #"In Slow Time" (Hammill, David Ferguson) #"The Wipe" #"Flight" : *Flying Blind : *The White Cane Fandango : *Control : *Cockpit : *Silk-Worm Wings : *Nothing Is Nothing : *A Black Box 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Black Box」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
