Egg - The Civil Surface, Virgin Records, 1974
I have been a big fan of Egg's The Polite Force (1971) album for a long time and surprisingly it took me this long to pick up their final record from 1974. After the first 2 Egg albums the band split up and in 1974 Dave Stewart , Mont Campbell and Clive Brooks returned to the studio joined by members of Henry Cow and space guitar wizard Steve Hillage. The result of this wild collection of musicians is an album that I could not put down all year. A bit of Space Prog, Canterbury , Psychedelic rock all swirled together with a huge array of woodwind and reed instruments.
