Composer Songwriter Anthony Moore recording under the name A. More
Review from MOJO
Minimalist composer and world-class egghead, Anthony Moore was one third of the avant-garde trio Slapp Happy. His second solo album, Flying Doesn’t Help, was credited to A. More, while the scratchy cover pic and exaggeratedly London-accented vocals suggested a seasoned muso hanging on to the coattails of punk. Calculated or not, it works. Slapp Happy aficionado John Peel played these tracks religiously in 1978, but many listeners must have thought they were hearing some box-fresh newcomer. Judy Get Down and Girl It’s Your Time should have become new wave anthems in the vein of Another Girl, Another Planet, Lucia sounds like John Cale fronting early Ultravox!, while War Just Us juggles jittery rhythms and punky shouting with ambient drones. A. More came and went, but Anthony Moore was last spotted writing lyrics for Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright, and sitting in on MOJO’s interview with same. When asked about Flying Doesn’t Help, a look of disbelief flashed across his face. Shortly after, he moved to Cologne and became a university professor. Perhaps we scared him off.

review from trouserpress.com
Flying Doesn't Help displays More's melodic stance, with such beautiful and haunting creations as "Judy Get Down" and "Lucia"; his wit surfaces in sardonic pieces like "Caught Being in Love" and "Girl It's Your Time." Building dense sonic forests filled with jagged splinters and dry, incongruously delicate vocals, the results fall somewhere between Peter Gabriel, John Cale, David Bowie and Kevin Ayers. An extraordinary record that reveals itself a little further each time it's played.
