Un des plus beaux morceaux de Henry Cow, filmé en Suisse à Veivey en 1976. J'ai rajouté un générique au début pour présenter les musiciens. Le morceau a été coupé en deux parties pour pouvoir être publié sur YouTube (il dure 19 minutes en tout). Il ya une improvisation remarquable au milieu, et la gestuelle de Chris Cutler mérite le coup d'oeil.. + Informações

Henry Cow were an English avant-rock group, founded at Cambridge University in 1968 by multi-instrumentalists Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson. Henry Cow's personnel fluctuated over their decade together, but drummer Chris Cutler and bassoonist/oboist Lindsay Cooper were important long-term members alongside Frith and Hodgkinson. An inherent anti-commercial attitude kept them at arm's length from the mainstream music business, enabling them to experiment at will. Critic Myles Boisen writes, "their sound was so mercurial and daring that they had few imitators, even though they inspired many on both sides of the Atlantic with a blend of spontaneity, intricate structures, philosophy, and humor that has endured and transcended the 'progressive' tag." While it was generally thought that Henry Cow took their name from 20th-century American composer Henry Cowell, this has been repeatedly denied by band members. According to Hodgkinson, the name "Henry Cow" was "in the air" in 1968, and it seemed like a good name for the band. It had no connection to anything. Leg End is the debut album of British avant-rock group Henry Cow. It was recorded at Virgin Records's Manor studios over three weeks in May and June 1973, mixed in July 1973, and released in August 1973. The album cover art work was by artist Ray Smith and was the first of three "paint socks" to adorn Henry Cow's albums. 1."Nirvana for Mice" (Frith) -- 4:53 2."Amygdala" (Hodgkinson) -- 6:47 3."Teenbeat (Introduction)" (Henry .... + Informações

Henry Cow - No More Songs. + Informações

(from wikipedia article) concert recorded in Trondheim, Norway on 26 May 1976, later broadcast on the Sveriges Radio radio program, Tonkraft on 14 July 1976. When Henry Cow prepared to embark on their May 1976 tour of Scandinavia, they were two members short: John Greaves had left the band after the March 1976 Hamburg concert, and Dagmar Krause had remained behind in Hamburg due to ill-health. As they were committed to the tour, Henry Cow, as a quartet of Cutler, Frith, Hodgkinson and Cooper, abandoned their familiar set lists and decided improvise all the concerts on the tour in the dark. They were also accompanied by "shadows that were not us", which were two-hour tapes that Cooper, Hodgkinson and Frith had each prepared. The subject of the tapes were: Cooper -- youth to old age; Hodgkinson -- history of language; and Frith -- history of Henry Cow. The tapes ran continuously and inaudibly throughout the duration of the show, but were made audible by their creators from time to time with a foot pedal, without knowing what part of the tape would be heard. Chris Cutler explained that it was an "attempt to inhabit a dramaturgy anchored in narratives of origins, evolution, history and ritual". They also decided to disguise and "primitivise" themselves and their equipment, and hence the darkness. François Couture at Allmusic called Trondheim the "crown jewel" of the box set, saying it was "some of [Henry Cow's] darkest and most thrilling music".

From "Desperate Straights" (1975). Video footage from Lutz Mommartz. I dream hermaphrodite and I sit up all night our eyes on the horizon of a wobbling bowl. Heads in hands we ponder dregs the bowl contains a liquid's left putrescence after being drained. (What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.) When I wake I wonder what it means; am I bad alchemy? It seems I image self unmixed, a risk, in a dish for drinking fluid with a strongly stinking sediment is that what it means? Am I hermaphrodite? Neither one nor quite the other. + Informações
