Free Music Review: Emerson or Rick have nothin' on ya, Dave
Hit: 5 Stars
Dave Stewart's work of the seventies was always surrounded by obscurity. I remember i had to get my copy of this incredible album right there in London and even then it was hard to find (and expensive). The same could be said of his other bands , The hatfields, National Health and Arzachel. Other keyboard players such as Emerson or Rick Wakeman always had more exposure and were more 'recognized'. But now, 35 years later it is Stewart's work that really stands out as a more fresh take on the whole' progressive' thing. His work is still being sought after and re-released as new fans meet with this man's great music. This is an album by his Egg band with UNIQUE composition style even for Egg. Here he unites with Hillage, future Hatfield "Northetes" choir and some Henry Cow members supplying winds (!). This was recorded when he was already in another band (Hatfield & the North) and it sounds like nothing else but also like everything he was involved with after Egg. Get it before it goes out of print again!
The Civil Surface Poster
2007 digitally remastered edition of this 1974 album. Egg were exponents of the so-called "Canterbury" style of Folk/Rock music and were focused around the compositional and keyboard playing skills of Dave Stewart (later in Hatfield & The North) and Mont Campbell and Clive Brooks. In 1974, they recorded their final album for the Virgin Record label. Featuring guest musicians such as Steve Hillage (Gong) and members of Henry Cow, The Civil Surface is now regarded as a classic of the "Canterbury" and Progressive genres. Esoteric.Pop Music CDs
