These are just some really minor dents I felt compelled to point out. Firstly, personally I don't think the acronym "in my opinion" is altogether appropriate for a (semi)objective and (somewhat)formal biography. That's just me though. The second thing to point out is the redundancy in "With their final album 'Western Culture' is the final HENRY COW release...". Again, just some really minute details that the perfectionist in me couldn't bare to leave unfixed - especially for such a prolific band. Sorry for being so obsessive of details.  |
British progressive pioneers
HENRY COW was the leading group of the Rock In Opposition* (R.I.O. for
short) movement, initiated by their drummer Chris CUTLER. All members
of HENRY COW have been involved in collaborations with Canterbury
groups and artists at one point or another, and most of them still are.
Their music aged amazingly well over the last 20 years due to diverse
influences: some of its roots in the Canterbury school, most notably
early SOFT MACHINE, other influences (FRANK ZAPPA, BELA BARTOK, KURT
WEIL...). The group functioned more or less as a collective, with a
true group identity that changed from album to album as members came
and went.Replies:

The IMO made the bio somewhat personal, no? What if: Their first album, "Legend" (read "Leg End"), is considered by many their most accessible, and makes a good starter. Just an idea... ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

I have updated with:
HENRY COW's first album, "Legend" (read "Leg End"), is considered by many their most accessible, and makes a good starter.
...because the next sentence also started with "their" as was originally used here, too.
And I simply removed With their final album from the Western Culture reference.
Josh, Guigo, How does that sit with you both?

And I forgot to mention that in this case "obsessive" is good!  ------------- "Without prog, life would be a mistake." ...with apologies to Friedrich Nietzsche |

Those changes are perfect.
