I'm just getting into the RIO movement (I just got albums by the original 5 bands), and I have found that finding detailed information on any of these bands is difficult. Is there a website or a book that cronicles these bands in detail?

There are a lot of reviews of some of the major RIO bands (well, mainly Henry Cow and Univers Zero) at the website in my sig.
In terms of actual books, there isn't much - Chris Cutler's File Under Popular and Bill Martin's Avant Rock are the only ones I can think of, and neither of them are particularly accessible. Cutler's book is good, Martin's much less so; both are difficult reads. ------------- http://www.progreviews.com/">

I'd be interested if anybody has any good literature as well. I'm thinking of applying to do a RIO hour at my college radio station, and I want to be a know it all :D. -------------
