THE CIVIL SURFACE

Why is this a 'Masterpiece'? Because it is totally unique in all the progressive rock spectrum...and because it is damm good! By this album Dave Stewart was about to break up the band but got himself a deal with Caroline (Virgin records sub) and composed some of the most amazing music ever. It is quite diferent from the other Egg albums as the music here feels much more detailed and refined. Also a 'medieval' flair is present trhough out as a woowind ensemble is used to great effect. Also there is a lot of humor and experimentation . Great solos from all and a true canterbury gemm composition wise. Get it anyway you can if bands like National Health and Hatfield and the North are your cup of tea...but expect something quite diferent anyways!
