Henry Cow - Leg End Original Mix
Review by Amy
Leg End Original Mix by Henry Cow is a unique and experimental album that showcases the band's avant-garde approach to music. The album features intricate instrumentation, unconventional time signatures, and a fusion of various genres such as rock, jazz, and classical.
The opening track, "Nirvana for Mice," sets the tone for the album with its dissonant chords and erratic rhythms. The album then transitions into "Amygdala," which features a haunting saxophone melody and a driving bassline.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Teenbeat Introduction," which is a jazzy, upbeat tune that showcases the band's improvisational skills. The album also features a cover of the classic song "Nine Funerals of the Citizen King" which Henry Cow masterfully transforms into their own unique interpretation.

Comments
3:10 Jeremy Baines on pixiphone/glockenspiel, striking the metal parts that doesn't emit tones but pings.
They're not Cantebury, but thanks for sharing the high quality recording
this is art
Nice sock tbh
There will be no R/R hall of fame for this lot...Pink Floyd and Zappa close as we can get...Henry Cow...love me some Frith...a class of their own...they are the epitome of Virgin records
I think this is brilliant on so many levels,

Siempre vuelvo a este video, porque realmente henry cow es pura magia, increible lo hermoso de la complejidad de las composiciones... no hay nada hoy en dia que se compare a esto o a frank zappa...
Genious
Thanks again for this rarity George!
brilliant audio but the video is frustrating - pull back pull back give us some context show the band show the playing for heaven's sake
Chris Cutler might be the best drummer I've ever heard, along with Jaki Liebezeit, but even then, I prefer Cutler's more cerebral and less funky style
Excellent! Thanks for uploading.
0:15 is that Tom Newman?
7:49 Geoff Leigh is at the right. He wasn't captured playing the saxophone though but he's founded in an interview part...
what song are they playing here? i really like this one.
Who is on bass? Is that John Greaves? His voice sounds alot like the National Health singer on "Binoculars"
Amazing ! Henry Cow - the greatest. Legend changed my life - Unrest - changed it further . great upload - that you . peace x
I was led to this video through a footnote in the recently published book Henry Cow: The World Is a Problem--an interesting read for Cow fans, as well as nearly anyone who's interested in avant music and related philosophies.
Fave
:-)
Who is playing soprano sax on this? We don't get to see anyone on reeds.
This is so great! What are the pickups on Fred’s guitar??
keeping warm in winter / sweet heart of mine
LE groupe de progressive (avec VdGG, bien sûr). Ce type de démarche semble faire cruellement défaut actuellement. Ce genre de créativité ce retrouve peut-être dans certains groupes de metal prog. En tous cas, merci pour le post (déjà ancien)
