Review by Warthur
PROG REVIEWER

Containing a live set taken from an appearance on Radio Bremen, this archival Henry Cow release hails from the band's terminal phase. They'd already had the recording sessions that produced the material which, after some internal strife and dissent, eventually saw the light of day on the first Art Bears album (with the rest of Henry Cow credited merely as backing), and they'd yet to go into the studio to record their swansong, Western Culture. Precisely because it was recorded for radio, the sound quality is solid, and the band are going out on a high, with an extensive improvised segment (titled simply Bremen) at the heart of the set.
