“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
The loud middle section of Decay of Cities, with brass and electric guitar, scares the shit out of me every time I am listening to it. It is one of the most intense musical moments I can think of.
Inexhaustible richness this Western Culture, always ahead of the listener.
From the latest ReR newsletter :
"The 3-BOX Henry Cow set is now out of print and will not be repressed in this form. We hope there will be a reissue later next year, with all 16 CDs in slipcases and a single box, at a reasonable price".
Ben Piekut's book, to be published in september 2019 :

He had contacted me about using some of my personal photos of when I saw Cow that I took, but he never followed it up.
But he's been working on it for some time.

anyone else feel like the heavy drums after the intro of "Industry" had an inspiration on the drums when they kick in on 5uu's "Roan"?
^^^^^^^
Anything HC is an inspiration to Dave Kerman. I don’t think he would argue with me on that....

HC escaped me until 30 years ago. I still remember the first time I heard them. Loved the album I heard from day one!
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
re: experiencing two marching bands playing simultaneously:
Not today they don't. Ives grew up in a very different time, and which things like parades and marching bands were a much bigger part of the culture.
Mind you, I imagine Ives wasn't the only person who regularly heard two marching bands playing simultaneously, in different keys and tempi, but only Ives was wily enough to create music with that element built into it. At least, at the time he was, anyway.
I need to dig out my Ives CD's. I've got about three or four of them floating around the house someplace. Or did I leave them in the TARDIS?
It's true that Dave and I had been very inspired by H Cow in the 70's, but we certainly weren't thinking of any particular song or sound when we did Roan or any other recording. Like everything else it was a combination of things - how the drums sounded (and whatever drums or drum-like things we could scrape up for the session), how he tuned and played them, how I recorded and mixed it, what else was going on in the track, etc.

I always thought the 5UU's were as "influenced" by Yes as you were by HC. Onw of my grand arguments towards the "prog" folx.

Them too. I don't recall if Sanjay had also been into Henry Cow, but like Dave and myself he had been a Yes fan. We were aware it was occasionally quite obvious but to quote Dave: "fuggit!".

Great news on the separate offer and upcoming book. I would say Henry Cow are awesome if the correct and specific meaning of that word hadn’t been destroyed by the fecal-matter-like, brain-dead American popular culture. I didn’t know about this long standing thread - I’ll have to read through it. Smash the Fasch!

^ There was also a Norwegian guy calling himself trondis in here who published a PhD (or MD, I can't remember) on HC about a decade back. I read parts of it and it was highly informative and enlightening.
