TOP COPY
Rare original 1974 first pressing of legendary adventurous progressive rock crew called EGG, led by whirling swirling & gushing organ, bass & drums creativeness... EGG recorded two previous albums also highly praised by early 70's progressive and psych collectors....
With Dave Stewart as leader of the band you might have expected that this album would have a strong influence of Canterbury music. The combination of his organ style, energetic drumming by Clive Brooks, and Mont Campbell on bass guitar delivers really good music harmony with its unique sound. As Dave Stewart also helped Steve Hillage’s band KHAN who produced only one album “Space Shanty”, the music has no major difference between the two. It’s probably the vocal part that’s different because Khan “Space Shanty” was a song-oriented album while EGG’s “Civil Surface” is a full music-oriented album. The other bands that similar to EGG are: National Health, Hatfield & The North, & Steve Hillage.
Song like “Enneagram” flows beautifully with variations of chords produced from organ accentuated with drum work and insertion of oboe, clarinet and bassoon. The music varies between simple and complex arrangements with excellent composition, overall and it moves from slow to relatively medium/fast tempo music with complex influence in addition to Canterbury. “Germ Patrol” continues the tradition of organ-oriented music with great drumming and bass lines. Keys and French horn improvisation have also enriched the textures of the music. It’s a rewarding experience especially with nice flow of the music combining unique sounds of individual instruments and the melody. In some parts there is an exploration to avant-garde and repetition of certain segments but with different textures. “Prelude” explores Dave Stewart’s organ solo in multi-layered sounds followed excellently with a stream of music resulting from bass, drum, organ and some choral section. “Wring Out The Ground Loosely Now” features Mont Campbell on vocal, organ work characterizes this track and it has variety of styles – being a Canterbury and avant-garde. Throughout, the highlight is the unique arrangements of the accompanying music that features organ as lead melody.
Provided that you are familiar with Canterbury, this album is an excellent addition to your prog collection. The music is original. The composition is clever and creative.
