But for a change of bassist and name (National Health), the brand of complexity underscoring the group's music was of a radically different order to that of an earlier band (Hatfield ...

Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin: Green and Blue / Hour Moon

Read "Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin: Green and Blue  / Hour Moon" reviewed by John Kelman

Henry Cow: Concerts

Read "Concerts" reviewed by Brad Glanden


To paraphrase filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, there's a fine line between making political music and making music politically. The members of Henry Cow understood the difference, and that's why their work has aged more gracefully than the once-revolutionary rants of so much “protest" rock.
