In Praise Of Learning (Vinyl LP) Rhythm & Blues

In Praise Of Learning (Vinyl LP) Rhythm & BluesHenry Cow's 'In Praise Of Learning' (1975), is a unique synthesis of expressionism, electronics, rock cabaret and the avant garde. Two expressive moments of the band emerge: the first dedicated to Zappa and Wyatt and the second developed through a trial of uncertainty characterized by long pauses in free improvisation. These elements come together with the cold, hard voice of Dagmar Krause. The overall effect is an unsettling and hostile 'Brechtian'
