This last studio recording with Henry Cow deserves far more attention then it usually gets. The arrangements are absolutely awesome. For the untamed ear it may sound quite much like the earlier HC albums like "Leg End" or "Unrest", but the close sensible ear will hear that Western Culture has actually evolved quite far from these as to structure and composition. It is almost "classical" (in the sense of Schoenberg at his best, Wolff, and even the chamber pieces of Hindemith) in its density and at points its even get there literally. This is really an outstanding piece of Henry Cow way ahead of its time but also with classical roots that brings you the timeless universality that makes it ever dynamic.
