11 de jun. de 2009 · From the 1974 album Unrest with Tim Hodgkinson, Fred Frith, John Greaves, Chris Cutler and Lindsay Cooper.
As previously mentioned, Henry Cow's sound on Unrest is a lot darker than on LegEnd. The fast-paced jazz passages are virtually gone and are replaced with slowly evolving, dissonant, experimental passages, including a bassoon, saxophone, and violin prominently, which drive the group closer to their later works and what would lie under the label "Rock In Opposition."
Henry Cow. Leg End: Pido una vez, rayón bestial en un tema, devuelvo el disco, pido otro, rayón en otro tema, el tercero ya bien. Picchio Dal Pozzo. Todo el disco lleno de pequeñas rayitas que hace que suene todo el rato un refrito insoportable. Devuelvo el disco, ahora ya bien. Ahora el Unrest de Henry Cow, otra vez rayón en un tema.
Mixing Engineer Henry Cow & Phil Becque. Performer Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, John Greaves & 2 more. Recording Engineer Andy Morris, Mike Oldfield & Phil Becque. More Henry Cow albums. Beginnings.
Track 1 to 8 originally released on LP in 1974 (Virgin V2011). Bonus tracks 9 & 10 are taken from raw material recorded at the UNREST sessions. They were mixed at Cold Storage Studios in 1984. In parts of Ruins and Linguaphonie, the bassoon, alto, voice and drums were recorded at half or double speed. Recorded at the Manor Feb/Mar. 1974.
Woefully ahead of its time, HENRY COW and albums like UNREST required several decades for zealots of extreme music to fully appreciate. While not as immediate as "Legend" nor as perfectly structured as "Western Culture," UNREST and its propensity to set sail across the vastness of what the world of sound had to offer resulted in some extraordinarily fascinating albeit bizarre musical experiments.
Luckily I kept Legend and Unrest. Henry Cow's masterpiece must be Ruins off this album. A superbly arranged although fairly bleak piece whose atmosphere can be summed up by the picture in the middle of the gatefold sleeve. Yeah, I know it's a distorted picture of the band but it's what always comes to mind when I play it.
