THE ART BEARS (Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, Damar Krause) ‘HOPES AND FEARS’ NEAR MINT CONDITION VINLY LP WITH ORIGINAL POSTER

 

Near Mint condition Sleeve, Poster and record.  All are in stunning condition.  Record plays flawlessly, the poster has obviously never been out of the sleeve and the outer sleeve looks all but new with the merest hint of ringwear to the rear.  A lovely, collector’s condition copy of this fine, rare LP.

 

The first album from Dagmar Krause, Chris Cutler, and Fred Frith's post-Henry Cow project is one of the art rock masterpieces of the 1970s. It's as politically potent as Henry Cow's more strident work, but couched in more poetic and provocative terms. Opening with Bertolt Brecht's "On Suicide," with Krause  declaiming the playwright's bitter lyrics in her semi-operatic style to the wheezing accompaniment of Frith's harmonium, the album continues in that uncompromising vein.

 

Although most of the other members of Henry Cow guest, with reeds player Lindsay Cooper and keyboardist Tim Hodgkinson playing on a majority of the 13 songs, Hopes and Fears is considerably more focused and powerful than that group's often scattershot albums.

 

The songs are built on Cutler's impressively varied drumming (often on electronically modified instruments), and the amazing variety of sounds Frith  is able to coax out of a battery of electric and acoustic guitars, but there's enough space in the music for Krause's unique vocals to shine.

 

Highlights include the epic, multi-part "In Two Minds," parts of which are as close as the Art Bears ever come to conventional rock music (which is to say, not very close at all, but there's an electric guitar solo), and the puckish instrumental, "Moeris Dancing."
