I've had this CD forever (early 90s) but I've always loved this blending of medieval European and avant-gard. Features Chris Cutler on percussion and lyrics, Dagmar Krause on vocals and Fred Frith on guitar, fiddle, bass, piano, organ, glockenspiel, marimba and who knows what else. Frith has also played with Henry Cow, Brian Eno and Naked City (bassist). B.B. King once stated in an interview that Frith is one of his favorite guitarists. This 1979 CD is called "Winter Songs." These was some folks definitely off on they on trip:

The Slave

The Hermit

Rats and Monkeys
