Slowly revisiting Chris Cutler’s excellent (free) podcast series PROBES, hosted by Ràdio Web MACBA in Barcelona, and released gradually between the years 2012 and 2023.

Almost all of the 37 main episodes have an Auxiliary bonus episode which digs deeper, and each main episode has a detailed PDF of the material covered. All in all, across its 50+ hours, it's pretty essential listening and a brilliant resource.

New #review today: "#ChrisCutler, #JohnGreaves, #TimHodgkinson, and #FredFrith. Those four names sound familiar? If not, you need to go back and re-take #ProgressiveRock 101. For whatever reason, maybe legal, maybe artistic, this 2022 reunion of what amounts to the original #HenryCow is now to be known as #HenryNow." #ExposeOnline #ImprovisedMusic #RIO http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/henry-now-then-again-3.html

Hopes and Fears is the debut album by the English avant-rock group Art Bears. It comprises tracks by Henry Cow, Art Bears's predecessor... in January 1978, and tracks by Art Bears... in March 1978.

...It also shows Frith experimenting with eastern European folk music on "Moeris, Dancing",[6] which he explored further on some of his subsequent solo albums, particularly Gravity (1980) and Speechless (1981).

Stewart Mason wrote at AllMusic that the album's longest track, "In Two Minds" is the closest Art Bears came to playing "conventional rock music". When Cutler was asked in an interview in 2004 whether the song was a "homage" to the Who, he replied, "It would be hard to deny the connection. It is so obviously a reference. I was certainly directly influenced in my youth by The Who – and in particular by Keith Moon." - Wikipedia

I find myself turning more and more to the music and ideas of Henry Cow these days, not to mention those of the myriad spheres and satellites orbiting their sun-gone-supernova. Hard to believe their remarkable first LP was released 50 years ago this month.

It’s taken far too long, but ReR Megacorp finally has their Bandcamp site up and running. No other veteran label has blown my mind in so many wild & wonderful ways over this past decade - I recommend digging in anywhere and everywhere.
