Title: Henry Cow's best
Product review: Without dumbing-down the music, Henry Cow's "Unrest" is a marked improvement over their previous effort "Leg End" which is quite a challenge to listen to, although it is certainly not without it's merit. "Unrest" as well as most of Henry Cow's ouvre is typically catagorized in the "rock-in-opposition" sub-genre, breaking the boundries of rock, almost having more in common with 20th century art and avant-garde music.The highlights of "Unrest" are the rather odd take of the Yardbirds "Got To Hurry" titled "Bittern Storm Over Ulm" and the epic "Ruins" which features some beautiful interplay between Fred Frith's guitar and violin work, Tim Hodgkinson and Lindsay Cooper's winds and Chris Cutler's percussion. For avant-garde music this album is extremely easy to listen to, in fact I had a cassette of this album (with Amon Duul II "Phallus Dei" on the other side) in my car for weeks on end and never once found it to be a bit disrupting or distracting.
