Record Reviews

	ART BEARS ~ HOPES AND FEARS RER ABD2 ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock 1st album from 1978 by the follow up band to Henry Cow. All the elements of their original band are here, extended and developed, as one might expect. This is some of the best avantgarde Prog ever recorded. Remastered and with bonus tracks.

	ART BEARS ~ WINTER SONGS/THE WORLD AS IT IS TODAY RER ABCD ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock 2nd & 3rd albums from 1979 & 1980 on 1 CD. More of the same great stuff as on their debut album with Chris Cutler and Fred Frith delivering their skills to the extreme. Absolutely stunning music of the best kind, although not for everybody.
