The Curious Case Of Kew. Rhone. and Peter Blegvad

From The Quietus:

This is Andy Gill, the music critic rather than the Gang of Four guitarist, writing in the NME on 23 April 1977: “It is completely utterly unlike any other album you’re likely to come across. Ever.” He’s talking about Kew. Rhone. And he’s right. The album didn’t exactly establish a year zero; it didn’t try to. But in terms of wiping clean the musical slate, it knocks spots off Never Mind The Bollocks. And yet Kew. Rhone. is not punk at all. It’s closer to an avant-garde musical.
