Like so many of their Canterbury compats, these guys created some ground breaking stuff. In fact the notes on the original LP read: The music on this LP is not dancing music, but basically music for listening to. It is harmonically and rhythmically complex, designed to be as original as possible within the confines of the instrumental lineup; so it's pretty demanding on the listener's attention. Originally released in 1970, Egg took influences from such diverse genres as jazz, psychedelia, rock and fusion, but probably most important, from classical music - and Brahms, Stravinsky and Grieg are directly and indirectly represented here. Egg gave their own influences to a number of other Canterbury acts of the early '70s. They were hatched from Uriel in 1969, after they'd lost their guitar player, Steve Hillage to his university studies.
Later, Stewart and Hillage would form Khan, and Stewart would move into the realms of Hatfield and the North. Campbell would join him in National Health. Egg was one of the more influential if underrated acts of prog's golden age.
