Nate on Slapp Happy
March 13th, 2009 | UncategorizedAbout three and a half years ago, as ReR MegaCorp was gearing up for the long-awaited release of Out Of Cold Storage, a 6-CD This Heat box set, I received an email offering me a discounted price on the then-impending 9-CD box they were putting together, documenting the English avant-prog band Henry Cow. “Henry Cow?” I thought, my mind landing briefly on drawing a blank on who this band was, or what they sounded like. Shelving, inexplicably, any further investigation for another year—nevermind the fact that the Cow box has, to date, not yet seen the light of day—I was later to discover that the paths of Henry Cow and one of my favorite bands, Faust, crossed in the mid-to-late 1970s: both bands had collaborated with an Anglo-American-German trio known as Slapp Happy.
