Album of the Day

Legend, by Henry Cow (1973): The title of this album varies from source to source. My CD, on both the disc and spine of the jewel case, use the single word "legend." Others, including some of the Ground and Sky reviewers, call is "Leg End," which fits with the cover art (it's a sock - leg end, get it!). I suppose the unsettled nature of the title is appropriate, given the quirky quality of the music. While, by all reports, this is a more accessible Henry Cow than other albums - indeed, some of it sounds a bit like Canterbury prog on acid - there's still some real weirdness on here. But a good kind of weirdness.
