Henry Cow

We can start a Rock in opposition thread if you want. I've been meaning to get more into Art Zoyd anyways. I listened to a few songs by them and thought they were decent (Nosferatu(?) being one).

EDIT: There's supposed to be some sort of meaning to their songs though, right? (primarily meaning their instrumental ones which make up the majority of their solo discography).

Pretty sure there is one if you search.

I've never been able to decide whether I prefer Leg End or Unrest. I remember making a lame 'the scariest compilation in the word' for my friend, and altogether Henry Cow was the most represented, not necessarily because the music is 'scary', but purely for the unsettling nature of their compositions. They can be jarring listens but that's what I love abou them - the fact they are a challenge, it brings one out of their comfort zone.
