The Cow could get *intensely* neoclassical in their notated pieces -- but not in the friendly baroque and Renaissance way we love GG for ;) In the gnarly, dissonant 20th century way ;) The composed tunes on their first album (in particular Amygdala) are masterpieces, but also check out Western Culture.

No guys, this ain't merely a strict canon like "On Reflection." Check out the climax on a pedal tone; this is the real deal, a Royal College of Music (Kerry's alma mater) composition-class fugue. Which isn't to say it sounds academic or uninspired, not in the least; it sounds like the great mid-70s Gentle Giant. Somebody said the synths sound cheesy? Dude, they sound *analog,* that's part of what makes it so cool. My only crit is that they could've come up with a better ending.

The subject or "theme" is really close to one of Bach's G minor fugues - but they do a great job making it their own and getting down that syncopation - sort of a neo-baroque that really swings. Closest thing I could find to this is Swingle Singers. Problem is it ends too abruptly. Here is the Swingle Singers doing their version of swinging Bach -

Minnear and the boys were excellent musicians who produced quite an eclectic style out of medieval folk, classical, jazz and rock influences.
