Biography:

ART BEARS are a branch of Henry COW and include vocalist extraordinaire Dagmar KRAUSE, Chris CUTLER on percussion, and Fred FRITH on guitar/ violin/keyboards/ etc. They were longtime members of the seminal English radical political avant-garde art rock band Henry COW. Their music is very high level progressive/experimental rock, with shades of ambient and electronic thrown in. Like much RIO-influenced music, it's not so much prog, as experimental, "rehearsal intensive" rock.
Their three albums are all equal in quality and are only recommended to those who like UNIVERS ZERO, Henry COW, or MAGMA etc. Try "Winter Songs" or "The World as it is Today" (they come together on CD from Wayside) then get "Hopes and Fears" if you like them. "Hopes and Fears" is one of the most melodic RIO releases and sounds somewhat more COW-like the other albums. Adventurous listeners would do well to find all of ART BEARS' releases.
