Taking shape out of the ruins of Henry Cow, one of the most prominent
and daring acts emerging from the Canterbury scene,
Art Bears built upon the musical adventurousness of Cow,
but opted for a more song based approach

Poster NEAR EX (please, see pictures and read above description)
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....(AllMusic)
