Egg
Amoeba Review
Tiffany Anders 07/07/2010
Progressive-classical rock group Egg released their debut in 1970. While there were many progressive rock groups emerging in the early 1970s, none quite touch on the far-out styles of Egg. Combining classical, jazz, and rock styles in a bold fashion, this band was made of exceptional players and arrangers. Their self-titled debut is heavily keyboard driven and features exceptional compositions, such as the opening track, “Bulb,” which offers a more palatable-for-the-masses sound. But as the album goes on, you find that the band becomes more and more unbridled, more progressive, and free in their approach to the music. By the second half they explore more classically flavored forms of progressive rock, arranged and titled in most part by movements. Fans of progressive rock should definitely pick up this debut.
