Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great Cantebury Style Prog.......2005-12-30

Often compared to early Soft Machine, Egg were probably compositionally a more consistant band. The trio of bass drums and keyboards were a seriously technically adept band, especially Dave Stewart, whose skilled extravagance is simply dazzling and unsurpassed.

On this effort, their is a cohesive and organic flow to the wide range of changes and the improvisations tend to be even more provocative in the range of contrast and color. Their music categorized in the Canterbury - prog toward experimental/avant garde but very harmonically and melodically pleasing with a great deal of subtle humor, much better than similar contemporaries such as Gong or Matching Mole.

Their lack of commercial success is regrettable in that they were as talented as any band at the time and the potenetial was unlimited had they stayed together. this, however, represents the greater challenges and artistic rewards which distinguishes the progressive rock medium.
