"Thin Air" is a collection of songs Hammill wrote and recorded between 2001 and 2007, largely as accompaniments to a series of poems. The material originated from a period of intense creative output following a significant period of ill health.
- The album was recorded at Hammill's home studio, "Maskell," with Peter Hammill handling all instruments and vocals.
- "Thin Air" was released on CD by Cherry Red Records in 2009, following Hammill's self-released albums on his own Fie! label.
- The album draws its lyrical themes from a collection of poems by Hammill published in 2004.
