The very first HENRY COW album, an avant-garde UK underground group who made a big splash turning many heads in the early 70's
Legend by Henry Cow is the first album from avant garde/progressive rockers Henry Cow. This is very very complex and challenging music in the league of Soft Machine and the instrumental side of Zappa's Mothers Of Invention, instantly enjoyable all the same.
So what exactly is there to enjoy? Well, You will hear lively flute solos accompanied by lyrical electric guitar arpeggios... Lots of tiny fugue-like passages taken up in turn by flute, bass guitar, clarinet and violin... Tongue-in-cheek winds melodies amid rapid and exciting lead guitar solos ...Splendidly recorded improvisations on bass, lead guitar and percussion which may remind you of the craziest moments in "Interstellar Overdrive"... And much, much more...
The album ends on a splendid song, which somewhat reminds of Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill. It's sung by the entire band in splendid multi-part harmony, with gorgeous arrangements for viola and violin. This song contains the first overt statement of Henry Cow's marxist ideas --a very British kind of Marxism, and clearly related to the Canterbury Scene: the lyrics refer to Gertrude Stein ("the mama of Dada") and to Lewis Carroll's immortal poem "The Hunting Of The Snark".
