Title: The Finest Henry Cow
Review: For me, this is the most focused and cohesive Henry Cow album yet. Not much filler here, this one is far more composed than their previous works.The final chapter to the band (unless there's more in the vault, Chris Cutler), the Cow, in their own style piece well-formed themes and rhythmic variations into a seamless work of art. Im gushing here, because this is the album I would have liked to create, to summarize the jarring inequities of Western Culture.If you like earlier HCow, without the long improvs and dangling cacaphony, this is the piece for you. This one seems totally composed. And for once, the final mix is elegant. You can actually hear a balance in tones and colors.For those just starting to listen to this band...this is the place.
