Henry Cow * In praise of learning

The Henry Cow sleeves are well known for their knitted plastic socks upon it. This record is brought in by my love Des Orient. Because of his taste of music i learned to enjoy this kind of music as well. Labelled as avantgarde, prog rock..... This is not a record you just play meanwhile doing other things. Therefore is the music too complex and too extand. The very intense voice of Dagmar Krause also forces you to listen. I like very much the influences of Fred Frith in this music. I think he's a genius and i just love his music, most he has done.
Here you can listen to the first song of the album and to the last song.

ART IS NOT A MIRROR - IT IS A HAMMER - JOHN GRIERSON
