Skin is the 13th studio album by Peter Hammill, originally released on vinyl on Foundry Records in 1986 and later re-released on CD on Virgin Records.
The album was notable for spawning a Peter Hammill single, "Painting by Numbers". The B-side was the non-album track "You Hit Me Where I Live".
The album sees Hammill employing the Yamaha DX7, the first commercially successful digital synthesiser, an instrument which was typical for the sound of the 1980s and which he plays until today. He also made use of an Emu Drumulator drum machine.
All songs by Peter Hammill, except where indicated.
