Tim Hodgkinson, Sang (CD)

Hodgkinson provided the most overtly compositional voice to Henry Cow, and it's really emphasized on 2000's Sang. With far less of the chaos of Henry Cow or (especially) Konk Pack, his work can be a bit less accessible, but is just as fascinating and intellectually engaging, as his compositions here are almost overwhelming. It's amazing to think that he played almost everything on the album—at the same time, as his voice comes though so distinctly, it makes total sense.
