![The Egg - A Short Story (Andy Weir & Kurzgesagt) [Reaction]](/img/n.gif)
Absolutely one of the most underrated bands of all time
All three albums are perfect to me💜
Mudkip
I bought this 50 years ago and still love the album. You are the only person i have come across who has reacted to Egg. Nice one.
Me too! Back then, you had to venture to the "Imports" section of the record store to find music like Egg.
@@WTFungus Living in the UK with all the great independent record stores we had in the 70s was awesome as we could get hold of almost anything. Sadly i would have to travel some distance now just to find one decent store. Changed days 😢
🥚
It never gets old. Incredible!
This is Egg's signature song. The fuzzed organ sound is very 1970. Mike Ratledge of Soft Machine was doing the same thing. It allowed the keyboard player to play leads with sustain, replacing the need for a guitar player.
The lyrics are very "Canterbury". Robert Wyatt pioneered this sort of dada-ist, almost stream of consciousness lyric. Richard Sinclair used the style also.
An undying classic. I never tire of it. EVER.
With some of my favourite bass lines.
Egg came up on my Soft Machine radio on pandora 2 days ago and I’ve just been in awe of their music so far
One of my favourite bands and records ever. Little surpasses this.
So glad you liked this. There were two albums I bought during early '70s. The Polite Force Egg and If (1970). They both had standout tracks: a visit to newport hospital (egg), and Dockland (If). They both had dissociative effect. The only other songs that have done this for me are: Your Gold Teeth II (steely dan), and Does Anyone really know what time it is? Chicago Transit Authority. 50 years later, I'm still waiting for anyone to bring out music as good as this.
Egg is one of my all time favorite bands, it's such a shame they never got as much exposure as their contemporaries and only made three albums. I would really recomend the song "Ennegram" off of their third and final album "The civil surface", that song is truly a Jazz-Rock masterpiece.
I like all their albums, but "The Civil Surface" is my favorite Egg album.
Wow - that was highly enjoyable.
Its so good! :D
What the actual?? EGG?! Amazing choice, sir! :D
EGG, NATIONAL HEALTH, BRUFORD band, HATFIELD & THE NORTH, producer of BRUFORD first Earthworks album, strings arranger for Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, one constant : DAVE STEWART, a genius, an astonishing keyboard player
I haven't listened to much Egg, but I love Dave Stewart's later Canterbury bands Hatfield and the North and especially National Health. I'll have to dig in a little further.
Whimsy. Check. Unusual time signatures. Check. Strange keyboard sounds. Check. Tempo changes. Check. Quality musicianship. Check. Welcome to Canterbury.
Oh, and while we're here. I'm still pushing for you to check out National Health's 'Tenemos Roads' which is in my top 10 tracks of all time and has been number one in Canterbury for over 40 years.
Love everything that Stewart does. His organ work is stellar! Continue the deep dive into Canterbury, the music style that never grows old.
I lived there at the time and I lived the music and musicians too. It was magical - music freedom.. :-)
Follow the lineage. Dave Stewart moved on to Hatfield and The North. He was the Canterbury analog to Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks, and Kerry Minnear of Gentle Giant.
After Hatfield and The North, who you really need to review, first album, Stewart was in a prog rock/jazz band National Health.
And knowing you love drummers...I finally got the chance to see Dave Stewart LIVE. I'm in the U.S. so the opportunity came much later...when Bill Bruford toured his first solo album, "Feels Good To Me".
On guitar was Alan Holdsworth. He was, of course, phenomenal.
On bass, Jeff Berlin gained great recognition working with Bruford on this, but notably he had done sessions work with Patrick Moraz, who played for one album with Yes, who Bruford had played with.
Always follow the musical lineage. That I got to see all these folk on one stage? Wow.
You should do "Shaving Is Boring" from Hatfield and The North's first album. You'll LOVE Pip Pyle, the drummer. There's nothing you won't love.
Blessings.
Avoiding skinheads and the law : Polite Force required !! I was deeply in Canterbury Schools during the 70ies..thx for giving a new life to these guys..and by the way this music is still living : just try JD Beck and Domi playing Sniff (Nord Live Sessions)..you'll see with your ears.
Big shout out from France. YB.
Ty Yves! JD Beck and Domi are an incredible duo, insanely talented
Uriel is Egg + Steve Hillage. Dave played on a couple of Steve's projects as well as National Health. You need to check out all of the above.
I love Egg's albums... dude, you gotta do Steve Hillage - Solar Musik Suite..... it's got Dave Stewart on it. The album is called Fish Rising.... GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT !!!!!
JP you are an adventurer. I love when you go to such different bands. Never heard Egg before. Very Caravanesque. I loved it.
Happy to hear that! :D
A first for me. Never took the time to check Egg ( so much music, so little time ). Nice!
Egg are underrated and this song is a Canterbury classic. Back in the '90s I even created a midi file for the song. It's probably still out there along with others I did for Soft Machine and Gentle Giant.
Prior to Uriel the band members recorded a psychedelic joke album under the made up name Arzachel.
Egg regrouped for "The Civil Surface" which is good but doesn't quite have the same magic as the first two albums.
What stands out the most is the playing and harmonic vocabulary of Dave Stewart.
The use of fuzz organ by Stewart, Sinclair, and Ratledge became characteristic of the Canterbury sound.
Many of the Canterbury band members "Prog-oulated" with each other !!
Yes another Prog word I made up Justin !! Lol : D
Your "Mountains Come Out Of The Sky" book has a great chapter on it all. : )
Truly amazing group, Polite Force and Civil Surface are huge favourites of mine
Ozrics, Gentle Giant and now Egg! You've been touching on so many of my favourites this week.
For your next visit to Canterbury, please please consider "Mumps" by Hatfield and the North. I know it's a big time commitment, but I think it is THE archetypal Canterbury piece. Four musicians at the top of their game, playing their absolute socks off, but doing it with such free flowing whimsy and charm that it almost feels effortless. You'll have a grand time, trust me.
Top 5 Canterbury jam in my world. I love spinning this one out when I DJ.
And I'll take Dave Stewart any day over Emerson.
A gem! Awesome to see your reaction to this
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW!!! Very cool and interesting song / band. Never heard of them, so thank you JP and those that suggested it. Great tune to keep me going while working some overtime! Have a great day all!
Hope work wasn't too taxing!
I love All Music's description of this band: An overlooked classical rock trio that had both the talent and sound of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer without the bombast or success.
They seem due for a genuine compilation since the only one they have consists of their 1st album with a single and its b-side added on to it.
I did find one, I think it's official, called "The Metronomical Society" with 12 tracks which runs about 60 min.
Egg actually made three albums: A self-titled one in 1970, "The Polite Force" (pun with "Police Force") in 1971 and "The Civil Surface" (pun with "Civil Service") in 1974.
Finally!!! Egg is such an underrated band
Check out Bruford! With Alan Holdsworth and Dave Stewart. And to top it all, the fabolous Jeff Berlin on bass and Anette Peacock on vocals (Feels good to me-album).
I can listen to Egg every day but Sunday is cool!
I was waiting for you reacting to this song, now you finally did. One of the best Canterbury works I think. Dave Stewart´s instinct for keyboard melodies is really exceptional.
I now highly recommend listening to "Mumps" by Hatfield & the North, that big Canterbury masterpiece in my opinion - with Stewart´s best keyboard solo and a mind blowing bass guitar work of Caravan´s Richard Sinclair. Check it out - I promise you will love it!
yes, and aigrette/ rifferama from their first album
Not to be confused with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. :D
@@David-iv6je Good point. David L. Stewart from Canterbury, Dave A. Stewart from Eurythmics. Not related to each other.
Can't help myself to recommend once more Losing Hold by Wigwam. It has a very Canterburyan vibe and is about the best prog piece made in Finland. Sadly, the second keyboard player and singer Jim Pembroke passed away just yesterday. He had a great influence in Finnish rock scene and will be missed.
Interesting time signatures and good tension in places. I have this album but have not listened to it in years, thanks for reminding me JP.
You say it’s smooth Sunday prog, parts, yes but, it’s got some pretty heavy Friday, Saturday vibes too.
I dug it.
I say the egg came first. Breakfast. Chicken comes later for din din.
Peace and smooth heavy Music
Egg certainly came before Kevin Bacon and the Bacon Brothers.
@@markspooner1224
Better cook higher than 7 degrees though… of Kevin Bacon, you see…
crickets.
As you're a fan of dave Stewart, may i recommend listening to National Health
? A short-lived, but excellent band comprising of some of the Canterbury scene's usual suspects; Phil Miller, pip Pyle, annette parsons, Barbara gaskin etc. I think you'd really enjoy their music, especially the first 2 albums. Dreams Wide Awake is a good place to start. It's from their 2nd album, "of queues and cures".
I used to listen to this and their other two albums all through high school. They always reminded me of a more tame version of Soft Machine, who were kind of like The Who of the Canterbury scene. I highly recommend reviewing Third by Soft Machine. It was a double album. The first was live and the second studio. Each side featured a composition by a different band member. It received much critical acclaim when released and was the foundation for much keyboard based progressive jazz rock that followed. Egg were a direct musical descendant.
Thank you Merrill! I've listened to Fourth (on my own), but will listen to 3rd in the future here :)
If you like this, I recommend a Dutch band called Solution. If you have hear Focus, you may have heard a snippet called Tommy. That tune came from Solution.
Una banda de trayecto corto pero muy impactante,es de mis favoritas
Blimey! 😳 Salutations for featuring Egg! This is one of my favourite tracks ever!! I’m commenting before i watch your reaction so i’m either going to be nodding in agreement or open mouth in exasperation in a few minutes time 🤣
Edit: Phew 👍😁
😁🥚
Excellent piece at the confluence of psychedelic and progressive currents !
Justin, Try the track "Land's End". it's an instrumental written by Dave Stewart on Bruford's Gradually Going Tornado album (1979/1980).
Hey Justin, so good to see you listening to Egg. Dave Stewart is my favorite organist. Distortion, cry-baby pedal, he was thinking out of the box. He is beloved by the prog community. I've been harping on Hatfield and the North. " Mumps", and," Son of There's No Place Like Homerton". And then he was on the Bruford albums.
Wow! How good is this.. How have i never heard this. Brilliant.. Try The Pineapple Thief, Versions of the truth..
Loved that! I remember you played that first Egg LP some while ago... and this is also lovely.
Hatch me a dozen more, if you want to keep my sunny side up. More Canterbury, please. It doesn't take a Hillage to jump on the Caravan. Peace.
The egg predates the chicken by at least two geological eras if I am not mistaken. Indeed I wouldn't be surprised if the first egg occurred in the Proterozoic which would make it three.
Uriel were forced to change their name to Arzachel and they released one album. Steve Hillage is on that and it’s very psychedelic.
Check out Khan-Space Shanty. It’s a one and done masterpiece. Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart guests on the whole album.
We heard one off it. Been awhile…
Hi JP. Dave from London, but I have a Ticket To Ryde! I believe this song refers to the previous band's time gigging on the Isle of Wight (which is where I'm going tomorrow). The Ryde Castle Hotel is still there, but not sure if it's still a music venue. And Newport Hospital is still there too (Newport is the island's capital). My brother had this album back in the day, but I only got into Dave Stewart later on when he recorded with Barbara Gaskin.
Now you should definitely check out Dave Stewart's multi-part masterpiece Mumps from the Hatfields The Rotters Club album.
Thanks for that good good good song
Canterbury : ( Whitsable camping site ; mainly - the place where Caravan got the name ) my very very very young holidays in 1957 and 1959 ( via Calais and Dover )
will you try Hatfield and The North : Mumps ? or National Health : Tenemos Roads ( -> Dave Stewart bands )
Egg published three albums, a self-tiled one in 1970, "The Polite Force" (pun with "Police Force") in 1971 and "The Civil Surface" (pun with "Civil Service") in 1974.
Uriel, the band that is named in the song, had Steve Hillage on guitar as fourth member. They published one album in 1969, but under the band name "Arzachel"; it was-self-titled. It is very well worth checking out.
Other Canterbury bands with Dave Stewart were Khan (who only published one album called "Space Shanties" in 1972, of which you already heard one song), National Health (who published three albums, a self-titled one in 1977, "Of Queues and Cures" in 1978 and "D.S. al Coda" in 1982), and Hatfield and the North (who actually named themselves after a road sign on the British motorway M1; they published two albums, a self-titled one in 1974 and "The Rotters' Club" in 1975). All of them were excellent.
Come on JP, I've been around a while... I challenge you to play this amazing prog rock song from an album you should listen in it's entirety. Play "Comme un Fou" the first song from the classic Harmonium prog album "L'Heptade". It's a chance to be the first reaction channel to do it, and I think you're the guy.
AMAZING BAND!!! AMAZING SONG!!! MASTERPIECE ALBUM😍😍😍
Check out their song "Contrasong", I believe it's from the same album.
Also Steve Hillage's first album Fish Rising
so cool to see yo mention that tune ... if you check the liner notes, they say "This song is never played live" ... right - that's probably 'cause the players might keel over from the ridiculous time signature changes: it's an assault of 5s and 7s
I seem to like every Dave Stewart project that I’ve heard.
Yay okay my man now we're getting somewhere yeah this is a fantastic album my good friend bought it for me when I was in high school I had my stereo out in the garage my stepdad Harry's pool table out there we were up on the hill in Palos Verdes a place called Rolling Hills and I used to go out in the garage and I put this record on it's a good record for a rainy day it has that feel so yeah I grew up with this even though I got the album like three or four years after it came out I had the Later album The Civil surface so that's how my friend knew that I liked the group so he bought that for me for Christmas and man I was just totally just head over heels for this one it's probably one of the best Christmas gift I ever got I love the way he dubbed the organ parts you know you would do different riffs on you know probably in the same area of the keyboard so you know it would have been hard to play that stuff at the same time but wow and Mont Campbell he's got that really warm stud light tone to his base I always loved that it isn't bright but that makes his tone different than everybody else you know Dave Stewart actually had a column in keyboard magazine back in the 80s and that time. He had this gal Barbara Gaskin and they did some stuff together and they actually had a minor hit out in LA with an old 60 song it's my party and I'll cry if I want to they did a version of that and it's so cool cuz you're listening to this on the radio and at the end you hear that egg Dave Stewart kind of an ending and you go all man that's the one time where the masses got exposed to the Dave Stewart universe yeah I was just talking to my good buddy he was the bass player we had this little group anyhow we went to the Roxy and we saw Bill bruford with his lineup you know he did a solo album called One of a Kind and so you have Jeff Berlin on bass and then you have none other than Allan Holdsworth on guitar whoa talk about a supergroup oh my God even though it's a super group of unknown musicians they were all the most talented you could ever imagine if you only knew them they were so obscure though of course you heard Alan holsworth with the bass player from King Crimson in bruford as well and Eddie jobson with the group UK but this line up oh my God yeah it's so funny cuz after the show we walk down Sunset Boulevard to Tower Records and looked around there back in the day when vinyl was still King you know that fuzzy distorted organ at the start and then at the end I'm kind of theorizing here but I'm grasping at straws however I'm thinking like that would have been with the group Uriel sounded like that was them emulating what they had done before and so that was they're a little tribute to that previous band just to guess just on uneducated guess I'm sorry I just granted forever and ever all right my man you're really getting on to it now all you have to do is acquiring the taste of that whole entire album buy Giant and then start getting into some Banco and. Le Orme and of course pfm do the English version first when you do River of Life by pfm and then later on do the Italian version you'll thank me later if you put it in that order later JP
You should give a listen to National Health. Dave Stewart played keyboards and their earlier music had Bill Bruford on drums. "Tenemos Roads" might be a good place to start.
Ty; I've done a little from them, but really liked what I heard :D
the "bookends" (nice description) aside, this wonderful tune is a festival of 7/4
:)...So prog...Pandora turned me onto these guys about 10 years ago...They are a much underrated group...
If you go anywhere after this, it has to be 'Soft Machine'
Hatfield and the North
National Health
I was like, hmm, wonder why, now I know. All I really heard is Bundles, mainly for Alan Holdsworth but ant SM is welcome.
@@shyshift All of them are KILLER suggestions...National Health is such a great band...Soft Machine are top of the heap...
Now this's the ticket. And sorry if I was testy re the Elton John debacle, but, well... Elton John, i mean! This's splendid. Egg, Canterbury, Dave Stewart in partic. And wasn't he in virtually all the Canterbury bands at one time or other, pretty much I think? Yes, this is more like it. Great track, smooth, with those heavier interludes, love this stuff. Superb musician doing there thang. And for more DS, don't forget the band National Health, I'd start with 'Of Queues and Cures' a sublime album.
I'd never heard of them, neither back in their day nor in college nor more recently, which is actually quite rare. (I've usually at least HEARD of someone.) But this is nice - Imma get me some. I love the way this bounces from heavy to open and back.
I'd never heard of the Canterbury scene, so I'll need to go look that up. This reminds me of some other early-70s bands playing in the space between psychedelic and progressive; Soft Machine comes to mind, but I'm missing someone else who's even closer. I'll go look up the Canterbury scene and I bet I find them there. :)
After Steve Hillage left Uriel, they continued as a trio, and changed their name to "Egg", because Uriel sounded too much like "urinal". (according to Egg's wiki page)
Justin that’s not guitar here it’s Dave Stewart running a Hammond Organ through a fuzz box. Steve Hillage plays about 3 solos on their next album, The Civil Surface.
From the debut,Egg check out Seven Is A Jolly Good Time. It’s their attempt at releasing a single in 1970.
Lots of Canterbury keyboard players did this.
Dave Stewart
Dave Sinclair
Karl Jenkins
Mike Rateledge
Peter Bardens(not really Canterbury)
For me, one of the reasons CZcams is the best thing ever is Egg. (Found them here a few years ago when I went exploring a bit more than I do these days.)
If you want a next band to go to, I'd suggest some early *Henry Cow* (maybe from their Legend album - which has a picture of a Leg. End. on its cover). They're possibly a bit more avante garde, but I don't think you mind that much? *Nirvana For Mice* is a song title that comes to mind as being on the more familiar end of their spectrum (and a great song). czcams.com/video/3wzwDf8XPzc/video.html
(You could use that one as a Cow Test, to assess whether it might be worth exploring further. And there should at least be enough jazz-adjacency to amuse you, while so doing.)
And from there, you might find it interesting to take a detour to the many sounds of RIO - for instance, the Belgium band *Present* czcams.com/video/pGEfkC_K5Vo/video.html
(No, not the Brazilian city, Rock in Opposition.)
If, by contrast, you'd prefer to meander down a lovely, gentle river of sound (instead of being mugged down some dark alley by Present - to become part of a tale of The Lives of the Great Poisoners, for instance), you might like the way Alan Parsons handled the strings in *Time* czcams.com/video/zhRzORqNa0E/video.html
(For this one, I'd recommend either speakers or two pairs of headphones, and find someone who'll let you hold her hand while you listen.)
Completely off topic (the speakers reminded me): when you one day try out *Fiery Gun Hand* , I think you'll have to try to work it so you can listen on speakers. Because headphones are not really stereo. (The beginning was designed to be heard in some space, I think, and not through cans.)
Did I mention the new mr Brown song? I think I did, but just in case, here's the odd-looking link to it. (If you listen, they let you join the Illuminati). czcams.com/video/DD789okbGhM/video.html&lc=Ugy751yTo8v01wqCJM94AaABAg.9TChB2seM1u9TJQbM4sork
Apropos _The Lives of the Great Poisoners_ , to get the reference you'd have to work your way through *Under Milk Wood* by Dylan Thomas till you get to that part of the story. However, if all you want out of this play/poem is to find out what King Crimson might've meant by "Starless, and Bible Black", it will take less than a minute of your time, listening to the radio drama that plays when you click this link: czcams.com/video/gymiPlOqsY0/video.html
(I can't be held responsible if it drags you in and won't let you go. I have no control over these spells. You might just end up saying you came to a bad end, very enjoyable, if you let it run too long. It is a very, very dangerous poem. )
I was feeling a bit under the weather this morning. The Prognosis for a good Sunday morning was in doubt. One dose of Egg and i'm feeling much better. Just what the doctor ordered.
Edit: More Egg in the future please. I may need a booster.
Do you prefer your Egg scrambled, fried, sunnyside up, or straight out the shell?😁🥚
talk about cerebral music!
What? No unboxing video?
:( , ratsafratzadingdong.
Progressive rock is not for everyone, only for highly sensitive, intelligent people, even if it sounds superb, but that's the way it is, you ran into a rosseta stone! ...enjoy it.
