    RIO / Avant-Prog

    ~ Sirens and Silences / Work Resumed on the Tower (1984) + Contraries - Extra Illustrated CD (1984 Single) + News From Babel - Letters Home (1986) ~

    Founded in UK in 1983 - Disbanded in 1986

    Not exactly a band in the traditional sense, NEWS FROM BABEL were a studio project that combined the talents of woodwind player Lindsay Cooper (HENRY COW), American harpist Zeena Parkins, and drummer Chris Cutler as well as vocalist Dagmar Krause (both from ART BEARS). Being direct descendants of these RIO bands, their style is very much 'out there' although not as wild or intense. Coming together after HENRY COW's dissolution in 1978, the foursome released a couple of albums and then broke up in 1986.

    Very much in the RIO tradition, both albums are filled with energetic and playful cacophony, unusual chord progressions, odd-time signatures (where drummer Cutler's distinctive style shines), vocal squeals and shrieks, but also unexpected sensuous and fluid passages that take on chamber music-like tones, all nicely complemented by Zeena Parkin's harp. Their first release, "Sirens and Silences/Work Resumed on the Tower", features guest Phil Minton whose unusual voice goes hand in hand with the radical/political nature of the lyrics. On their second album, "Letters Home", Robert Wyatt handles most of the vocals with the occasional contribution by Minton, Dagmar Krause and newcomer Sally Potter. All music was written by Cooper, all lyrics by Cutler.

    Their type of RIO could appeal to a wider audience but the ones most likely to appreciate are fans of HENRY COW and especially ART BEARS.
