3 stars It's okay I guess.

This is basically Eggs first actual album and like I said it's alright. More hard rock spacey psych compared to the later classically driven Egg works but still sounding like the same band. My favourite songs on here are Azathoth and Queen St Gang which alongside Garden Of Earthly Delights/Metempsychosis remind me of Egg. The other songs are the bluesier ones. I think what one can expect from this album is something not unlike early Pink Floyd/Krautrock. If you enjoy that kind of atmospheric music then this album will surely delight. For me, songs like Metempsychosis and Legs are somewhat annoying due to an over abundance on "sounds".

Overall this is an acceptable debut of mostly average music. Canterbury Sound Score 2/5

Beautiful Scarlet | 3/5 |
