I'm glad you're enjoying Skeleton Crew too, Maria - and like elph, I have come across Henry Cow before but wasn't attracted to their sound. As that was probably 40 years ago, perhaps they are worth a re-appraisal. I was impressed, not just with the songs of SC, but by this quote from Fred Frith about the short-lived band:
Quote:

Fred Frith said of the original duo "It's all just on the edge of breaking down all the time, which is a quality that I've always liked. I don't like things to be too easy." and of their decision to split "We actually started to sound like a normal rock and roll band so it seemed kind of pointless to go on at that point."
