"Erk Gah" (later retitled "Hold to the Zero Burn, Imagine") is a song written by Tim Hodgkinson for the English experimental rock group Henry Cow. "Erk Gah" was performed live by the band between 1976 and 1978, but was never recorded in the studio; three live performances of the song would later be released on the live album Stockholm & Göteborg in 2008 and the compilation The 40th Anniversary Henry Cow Box Set in 2009. In 1993, fifteen years after Henry Cow disbanded, Hodgkinson recorded the composition under the title "Hold to the Zero Burn, Imagine" for his solo album Each in Our Own Thoughts (1994), featuring former Henry Cow members Chris Cutler, Lindsay Cooper, and Dagmar Krause.
"Erk Gah" was the second of two "epic" compositions that Hodgkinson wrote for Henry Cow, the first being "Living in the Heart of the Beast" from In Praise of Learning (1975).[1]
