Oh yeah, I thought the drums were too loud.

The band is pretty much my conceptual brainchild, so I can safely say that you shouldn't condemn David to such a fate for the music (though you can for other reasons, as he is crazy).

On the first album (In Anima) I composed about 75% of the music; I composed about 99% of Ex Anima. The new one is a totally different beast altogether (and in my opinion, 9000 times better) and nearly all of that has been co-written between me and Danny.

And, I just saw your question about who made the art work.

Branden Meyers did the art work for In Anima and he also will be doing it for Lightning Strikes (new album). Ansen (he used to be on PA by The Miracle) crafted Ex Anima.

I didn't really think it was "bad," but I do realize that it just wasn't the music for me at this stage.

There's a reason I didn't bring it up.

I think I can safely agree with that statement.  At least Joel's getting into Magma though, that's a start. Wink

There is hope yet. Now if only we can get him to say Western Culture is the best album ever.


Not best album ever but best Henry Cow album. Big smile


Not even that.


From the original studio albums, it is.  I don't include the Box Set or Concerts.

I'm glad you gave it a shot though; but I wasn't planning on mentioning anything to you until the release of the next one, which I'm extremely excited about.

I'm actually in a stage now where I'm not really marketing at all. I'm postponing all of that for hype on the next album. All of the songs are nearly finished, pretty much, so I'm not sure when it will be--could be anytime within the next few months.

When that one is released, you'll know, since I'll be marketing it crazily.

I honestly don't think Henry Cow has a best album; it depends way too much on my mood.

They do have a worst album though and that is In Praise of Learning.

Not that it's bad.  It's excellent.  However, it's easily their weakest effort.

Shiny good post-rock.

Mooncake's new EP is likely the best in the genre this year.
Saxon Shore also have a fine new album.

Can't really frame it as music I've seen you be interested in, otherwise why not? Definitely good materials.

Alright. I haven't heard much post-rock from the past 2 years anyway.

In Praise Of Yearning is Henry Cow's worst album. It's excellent.

I understand what you meant, but In Praise Of Yearning is probably my no. 2 from them, but that's my opinion.
