other
They were a collective with a strict work-ethic that demanded total commitment from its members.
other
They held regular meetings where all aspects of the group, its music and activities were debated.
other
This tended to suppress individualism and made the band more important than its members, which strained relationships within the group, and with partners on the outside.
other
The book explains how Henry Cow were at odds with the status quo, the music industry and the world at large.
other
They were politically outspoken and embraced Marxism and Maoism.
other
They were not content to settle and continually experimented with new ideas.
other
The brief merger with Slapp Happy in 1975, the formation of the Orckestra with the Mike Westbrook Brass Band and folk singer Frankie Armstrong in 1977, and the establishment of the Rock in Opposition movement in 1978, were some of several ventures they initiated.
other
Henry Cow's approach to composition is discussed, and the musical structure and lyrics (where present) of many of their more prominent works, including Frith's "Ruins" and Hodgkinson's "Living in the Heart of the Beast", are analysed in detail.
other
The band improvised much of their music, particularly during live performances, and this style of playing included free improvisation, studio improvisation to tape (for example on their 1974 album, "Unrest"), and open improvisation.
other
Reviewing "Henry Cow: The World Is a Problem" in the British progressive rock magazine, "Prog", Sid Smith called it an "impressively detailed account [that] chronicle[s] [Henry Cow's] triumphs and camaraderie".
other
He added that through their "often-turbulent existence", the band's struggle "against the prevailing tides of commerciality and popular culture ... has a heroic quality about it".
other
Smith wrote that if the success of a music biography is measured by the desire to revisit the group's albums, then this book is "enormously successful".
other
He said Piekut's "forensic examination" of Henry Cow's recordings adds another dimension to their music.
other
Smith concluded that the book "is a fitting tribute to Henry Cow's importance and legacy in a notable but marginalised movement of 20th-century music."
other
Phil Howitt wrote in the Canterbury scene magazine, "FaceLift" that while Henry Cow may not have been part of the Canterbury scene, Piekut's book can be read as "almost a parallel narrative to that of the Canterbury scene", given the number of musicians from that "genre" who either played in, or were associated with, the band.
other
Howitt described "The World Is a Problem" as a "definitive biography" that is "meticulously researched" leaving few stones unturned.
other
He said that just as Henry Cow were "an intensely serious band", this is an "intensely serious book" that requires "considerable powers of concentration and assiduousness".
other
Howitt found the analyses of their different types of improvisation and their political alignments "heavy going".
other
He also felt that the in-depth descriptions of some of the band's compositions were "somewhat unnecessary" as they would only benefit a limited audience.
other
What was also missing, Howett felt, was a timeline of events covering Henry Cow's history.
other
But overall Howett called "The World Is a Problem" "a remarkable project" that is "compelling [and] unique".
other
Chris Cutler, Henry Cow's drummer, described the book as a "cornucopia of invaluable information".
other
He said it is a well-researched and detailed account of the band, but suggested that in places, it is "best [to] read between the lines".
other
Because some of the band members kept more detailed records than others, their viewpoints tend to feature more prominently in the book, leaving some parts "uneven".
other
Cutler added that where Piekut had to interpret different people's accounts of events, it is likely that not everyone in the band will concur with his analysis.
other
Cutler said that "subjectivities are profoundly complex", and attempts to "unearth things that were already hidden when they were current" will be "guided by [personal] biases and interests".
