Anthony Moore - Flying Doesn't Help

Released in 1979, Flying Doesn’t Help is a bold and experimental art-rock album by Anthony Moore, known for his work with Slapp Happy and Henry Cow.

Moving away from avant-garde minimalism, this album embraces a rawer, more melodic yet unconventional sound, blending post-punk energy with art-pop sensibilities. Tracks like Judy Get Down and War feature hypnotic rhythms, sharp lyrics, and an almost surreal atmosphere, reflecting Moore’s unique approach to songwriting. Despite being an underground cult classic, Flying Doesn’t Help remains a fascinating and influential work, bridging the gap between progressive rock, punk, and experimental pop.
