Clip Henry Cow - Beautiful as the Moon

Un des plus beaux morceaux de Henry Cow, filmé en Suisse à Veivey en 1976. J'ai rajouté un générique au début pour présenter les musiciens. Le morceau a été coupé en deux parties pour pouvoir être publié sur YouTube (il dure 19 minutes en tout). Il y a une improvisation remarquable au milieu, et la gestuelle de Chris Cutler mérite le coup d'oeil.

Chris Cutler could be re-classified as a liquid the way he plays! And say what you will about how Slapp Happy was cruelly dissolved by Henry Cow, Dagmar's voice is perfect for their music.

[BernardMontmartre]

@StMikey Dissolved ? No surprise, with a liquid drummer :) But as far as I know, Slapp Happy has published some records after Henry Cow disbanded (did someone listened to them ?)

[Hyardacil]

The riff that begins 4.40.

Is it in 9/8?

[BernardMontmartre]

@Hyardacil as far as I remember, it's a bit irregular with several time signature changes

[mitzjob]

If one was a prog-whore in the early 70's-- we all wanted to sleep with Dagmar....

They are probably the Beatles of prog-classical-rock music ever...Maybe Magma is on their level...others fall by the way-side...

[BernardMontmartre]

@mitzjob King Crimson maybe ?

(part 1 of 2) Careworn and all alone - First days Charon the unborn - Days erased Death: Venus unfurled - The world we lost we found - spoiled No sun No birds No stars No form Evened we are fallen all before time Lief lorn we unlearn all crime Lives - levelled as lies A star mourns souls ungraved - ignored Slow wheels: Mira. Algol. Maia Rose Dawn Daemon Rise Up and seize the morning - your due Love solves worlds - with words Arise Amidnight and heaven stumbles As time ends

[draughtsmon]

(part 2 of 2) Last days hollow souls view Glass maze a science sees us through History moulds men Selves men made its tyrannies end when its ghosts are laid. Dark Class marches past to war Class cause carries all before Capital steals Fire Fools no more his factories free dreams his Kings expire Rose Dawn Day Moon. Take Care! Banners of Crimson are raised Time solves words - by deeds Arise work men and seize the future. Let Ends Begin.

@BernardMontmartre

Crimson was essential, and changed my life. Henry Cow is better.

[underagedpickle]

@Hyardacil its a bar of 7/4 then 13/8

[Sunchild333]

@Hyardacil As far as my theoretical knowledge goes, I counted 10/8, 9/8, 10/8, 10/8, 9/8. Or something like that...

lovely to watch Cutler play. He doesn't so much as play drums as use surfaces as a means of ballet dancing with his arms

[asbobarrett]

I saw Henry Cow when they played Chelmsford in about 1971. Can't remember the line up but I thought they were all male. The band outnumbered the audience but it was a good night anyway- except for the promoter who must have lost out big time.
