Yo guys!

I couldn't get hold of the Henry Cow album. I heard it once with Tore but it wasn't enough to get an opinion. However, thanks for last weeks suggestion of Dun. It's good and quite scary stuff.

I have a suggestion for next weeks homework: Gilgamesh with their debut album Gilgamesh from 1975. I haven't listened to it yet, but an album I constantly listened to during last week with archive recordings, Arriving twice, published in 2000, is quite impressive - beautiful guitar riffs, and nice inter-song changes in time signatures and moods. Some songs transport the feeling of coolness, with ugly riffs making one feel uncomfortable, but then make a sudden change into beautiful harmony. Other songs are very emotional and calm. Sometimes they use an annoying organ effect, I guess that's the seventies. I have no time for checking out the musicians, but they are somehow connected to Canterbury.

So get some Gilgamesh folks!
