... No - none of it. Although there is empty space in box 1 to put the cds (that is if you have the 'small jewel case' later edition of Concerts). In general I...
Brian It strikes me as strange that you would like the music of a band like Henry Cow and be unable to appreciate Dagmar Krause's singing. I would recommend...
Hi Aymeric, I'm glad you didn't post that, as what you have on the Calyx site is way better than what I found. It didn't dawn on me that it was already posted...
Greetings Rattlers. Living here in Jakarta, I rely on a few contacts (Hi Leonardo and Joerg among others) and subscriptions, as well as the online pages of...
Hello Rattlers I'm currently listening to Around Robert Wyatt, songs of Robert re-created by the National Jazz Orchestra (ONJ in French), with a fantastic...
Greetings Rattlers. I'm surprised that Dead Earnest (Dead Ernest?) didn't mention that the superb jazz group behind Alex Maguire is The Wrong Object. Leonardo...
HELLO Henry Cow fans. Why is Brian's musical preference a conundrum????? I happen to appreciate Dagmar's obvious talent, but I would say that hearing live...
He's not the only one! I liked Henry's Cows first and last album and half the second one, but not the rest, becasue 1) I hate free improvisation and 2) I hated...
Dagmar's such a sweetie that I wanted to give her some props. Plus I imagine the fellow is conflicted listening to Henry Cow, considering what an integral part...
Dead Earnest - it's meant to be a take on the feeling of sincerity, as well as a tribute to my wife's late father (who had a sense of humour) - we needed a...
I know a lot of his stuff from various collaborations with other Canterbury greats, I saw him live a couple of times and I know he is an amazing bass player. ...
... I'm in this category too. I would also add the first disc of "Concerts" to my Cow playlist though. It's got a bit of Dagmar on it but it's mostly...
Hi Everyone, I just recieved my copy of "Western Culture" that I put off buying for a couple years, although I don't know why, as I think it's a great album...
Interesting that many of these negative appraisals of Dagmar Krause's voice are essentially the same as so many I've heard concerning Rattlers hero... Robert...
Cannot compare the two whatsoever, even negatively. Dagmar's voice sounds completely trained and Wyatt's voice sounds completely untrained. The only thing that...
I disliked Robert Wyatt's voice when I first heard it. I filed away the first Soft Machine album after one playing. Then when I got "Third" (six months later...

I've always dug "Western Culture" - nothing not to like. "In Praise of Learning" I heard extensively over the radio well before I bought it (FM, that is) and...

Even though Dagmar is surely an unusual voice, and her approach to singing is equally unique, I believe she is perfect for Henry Cow. And yes, Western Culture...
Yes of course, such individualic vocalists are always going to be admired or hated according to taste. I can recognise that Wyatt's vocals are often rough or...
Hi everyone, I was just listening the other day to the Henry Cow songs from "IPoL" some guy loaded up onto youtube. My opinion has changed about her singing,...
... Dagmar is just as self-taught as Wyatt. She doesn't even read music. She learns and memorizes everything by ear. That is quite impressing considering the...
Hi all-- I'm new & old to the group... was a member a while back, for some reason got off (changed email addresses, I think) and now am back on. My latest...
... That is incredible to learn. Dagmar's muscular control is astounding. So much so that I just assumed she must have studied voice. Jamie Stoyanoff...
Have just come back from excellent evening seeing The-Quartet at Pizza Express. I don't have the musical knowledge or language to express what it is that they...
Okay, I have to ask about this. I've been to London a number of times, and I've eaten at Pizza Expresses, but the ones I've been to just look like normal...
... No! Pizza Express is nothing like McDonalds - McDonalds is the grubbiest, scummiest, lowest of the low, filthy... I hate them and their squat little shacks...
I`ll be in Gothenburg/Sweden on saturday for the Three Friends/Gentle Giant concert. Any of you Swendens out there who know abaout any good shops selling prog,...
As Aymeric says, the Dean St Pizza Express has a long standing association with jazz - the focus of which is their Dean Street branch in Soho (although jazz is...
