Patience (Peter Hammill Album)
Patience is an album by Peter Hammill. It was released in August 1983 on Naive Records, a label founded by Gordian Troeller, the former manager of Hammill's band Van der Graaf Generator. It was remastered in 1991 and released on Fie! Records. It was the second album to feature the collective known as the K Group (the first was Enter K) — Hammill, Guy Evans (Hammill's former colleague in VdGG), John Ellis (of The Vibrators), and Nic Potter (also occasionally of VdGG.)
Patience reached #15 in the UK Indie Chart.
The members of the K Group adopted aliases for this and some other recordings. Hammill was "K", Evans was "Brain", Ellis was "Fury" and Potter was "Mozart".
"Patient", "Traintime" and "Comfortable" have all been played regularly by Hammill in live performance in recent years.

Famous quotes containing the word patience:
“Disease can never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion’s wailful screaming or faith’s cymballic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
