Chris Cutler's book "File Under Popular" is fully of dreadfully tedious prose mannerisms, like the constant use of "&". The unmasticated, rote Marxism makes it all smell so mid-20th century. Yet his band sounds far less dated than their peers, and that includes the less crapular Canterbury bands of the time, like Hatfield. HC is one of the only prog ... ahem, "RIO"... bands that made music that doesn't sound like it was composed in a hash haze. Not that that's always a bad thing.
not Shite!

Not crap.
Leg-ends and Unrest are great.
Plus I have Chris Cutler to thank for my Wümme Years box set
as well as the Revolutionary Pekinese Opera V1.28 being released.

I just got "Western Culture" and am enjoying it very much. Off to a 'not crap' start with these cows.
Any recommendations for a next album to get?

Henry Cow = NOT CRAP
Fred Frith is currently a professor-in-residence at Mills College in Oakland, Italia. Not only does he play a lot of local shows, but I also see him around town a lot.
Saying hello to Fred Frith at the coffee shoppe: NOT CRAP

Very much Not Crap, should prog rock still need a defense, they're it.
And the book was excellent, in my opinion.
Plenty of great RIO-associated bands were excellent as well. Univers Zero, for one.
