^ Yay !!
Not a lot going on regarding HC here. I currently obsessing over In Praise Of Learning. Funny how Daggi sounds like a witch with HC, and then when she sings with Slapp Happy, she sounds like a sweet Angel. She really is an amazing singer. |

Yes, it's interesting to listen to Casablanca Moon then see how her singing developed with Henry Cow.

Compare War to The Secret, both vocally and melodically-wise. Total opposites

Is the male voice on "War" John Greaves' or Peter Blegvad's? I'm sure I've heard it on Kew. Rhone., but never knew whose it was. I would guess Blegvad's, because it's his piece, but than again there is a similar voice on "Nine Funerals".

It is Peter Blegvad - very distinctive drawl.

Greaves' voice sounds more 'cockney' to my ears.

I love War - also the same voices on the Slapp Happy John Peel Session MP3 you can find on Amazon

I am not sure these releases were 'approved' by ReR Megacorp; you can't find them on there either.

Well you're not really missing so much with the John Peel Session - Me and Parvati is of no consequence and the other two tracks sound like most of my music collection in 1974. I was 12 at the time and used to record the chart singles by placing the microphone of my cassette recorder in close proximity to the loudspeaker of the AM radio

^Oh, I have heard it...I'm sure I have it on cassette somewhere, but I no longer even have a proper cassette player.

Indeed...the sound quality doesn't help either - the Cow (and the Hatfield one) are much better. Blegvad also does that silly short poem in 'War' (which I am glad they got rid of for IPOL) |

.........moving on....................
Slapp vs. Henry..................chalk and cheese.................yet, this 'meeting of the minds' can only happen in the '70's....... How many folks are aware that Anthony Moore was, the Master, David Gilmour's lyricist, in latter-day Floyd ?? ............On The Turning Away...........(music -Gilmour......lyrics-Moore). Really very cool. And realistically - it just 'works'........ Right now. In my 'slightly' drunken stupor, I prefer the Mantler/Gorey tales with Robert Wyatt (The Hapless Child, And Other Stories) .......... Just a BRILLIANT album, and certainly in-keeping with out dear Henry Cow troupe....... |

Didn't Moore get a writing credit on 'The Division Bell' as well?
'Hapless Child' - excellent; stellar line up as well. |

 - You know that Mantler / Gorey album ?????One of my uber-precious vinyl's with a poster..................... Steve Swallow and Jack DeJohnette as rhythm section - COUNT ME IN !!! I've loved this incredible album for decades..... I find it fits in perfectly with Cow.............. More folks need to discover this AMAZING album. The way those stories fit in with, music mostly by Carla Bley, well, just BRILLIANT. As good as LegEnd.................. |

Terje Rypdal on guitar as well! I was aware of it when it came out but only discovered it years later. I don't like Silence or No Answer quite as much. 'The Doubtful Guest' still makes me smile.

^ OMG !! You are of a precious few that know this album. It is, and has been, one of my really special albums I acquired at a record fair around late-1995 - seriously, I had around a100 bucks to spend, and this fair yielded :
EGG - The Civil Surface (near-mint $6) NATIONAL HEALTH (both S/T and Of Queues, beautiful copies... - 8 bucks each) CARAVAN - S/T, the MGM Select press with a 'car towing a Caravan' cover (which smelled like mothballs for years....20 bucks) KHAN - Space Shanty ; Beautiful g/f copy on Pink Elephant label for 10 bucks Gordon Haskell - It Is And It Isn't (reasonable copy that plays neatly - 6 buck) ...............and, Mantler/Gorey 45 bucks............. |
