- made in England - (Orange Deram Records) SDN 14 (Stereo)
Egg's FIRST album is an astonishingly assured piece of work, especially when you realize that the three members of the band were all under 20 when it was released. They had emerged from the ashes of Uriel, a band that was formed at the City of London school and went on to ARZACHEL.
Keyboard player Dave Stewart was originally the guitarist, but switched to organ when he realized that the young Steve Hillage (for it was he) was a better player. Hillage then left for university, the remaining trio renamed themselves Egg and built up a solid reputation on the underground circuit. It's an essential piece of the Canterbury scene jigsaw and still stands up as a really-strong release today.
Like the early Soft Machine and Aardvark, egg was an organ led trio with a particularly English sense of humor to go with a serious musical ability ... Although where Soft Machine's work had a jazz flavor egg were into a fuzz box organ & effects, including wild jamming injections.
The main egg composer was Mont Campbell, although the group shared the writing credits (Stewart later said that Campbell was responsible for 95% of Egg's music). This album, like their follow up "POLITE FORCE" , had one side of shorter pieces and then their side long epic.
Dave Stewart's distinctive keyboard work, gives songs like "While Growing My Hair" a kind of championed early 70's progressive feel.
The second half of the album is a rather more serious affair. The first movement features a very nifty quote from Hall of the Mountain King, moving into the kind of Avant Prog territory in which Dave Stewart would explore later.
Side two delivers for the serious progressive rock enthusiasts, a 22:26 minute long epic with lots of both driving theme in a more psychedelic adventure throughout. It´s a great joy to be listening to Dave Stewart's gushing organ ...highly innovative at the time forever more ...
