Henry Cow biography from progarchive.com:
British progressive pioneers HENRY COW was the leading group of the Rock In Opposition* (R.I.O. for short) movement, initiated by their drummer Chris CUTLER. All members of HENRY COW have been involved in collaborations with Canterbury groups and artists at one point or another, and most of them still are. Their music aged amazingly well over the last 20 years due to diverse influences: some of its roots in the Canterbury school, most notably early SOFT MACHINE, other influences (FRANK ZAPPA, BELA BARTOK, KURT WEIL...). The group functioned more or less as a collective, with a true group identity that changed from album to album as members came and went.
HENRY COW's first album, Legend (read Leg End), is considered by many their most accessible, and makes a good starter. Their sound draws on modern classical music, jazz and experimental music. In Praise of Learning was a collaboration with SLAPP HAPPY, which featured in the addition of a real vocalist (the infamous Dagmar KRAUSE), Pete BLEGVAD and Anthony MOORE. However, they sound nothing like HENRY COW. In Praise of Learning and Concerts are more noisy albums with a fair dose of improvisation. Western Culture is the final HENRY COW release, and it represents the next logical step from In Praise of Learning. Western Culture seems the obvious choice as their best album being essentially jazz-tinged modernist classical music for an extended rock band instrumentation but it contains outstanding music: some fantastic, frenetic drumming, biting guitar work, and the usual array of saxophones, clarinets, oboes etc.

* Rock In Opposition (R.I.O. for short) defines a certain style of progressive rock: complex, dissonant, free - used to describe such bands MIRIODOR and TIPOGRAPHICA, for example.
