Part 4 (2:53) Listen At YouTube: Step back a few years to the unbearably named Uriel, from which Egg was (really sorry) hatched. Uriel was founded in 1968 by bassist Mont Campbell, guitarist Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart - who we are to believe only took up the organ because of his intimidation by Hillage’s superior playing! They eventually recruited Clive Brooks on drums through a Melody Maker advert. Uriel played bluesy psychedelia – self-described as part Cream and part Nice. The band gigged sporadically around London and recorded one posthumous album, the more pleasant Arzachel. After Hillage’s departure for University, the band dropped all blues numbers from their set and moved forward with compositions built around classical motifs and bizarre time signatures. At this point, the management of Middle Earth club approached them, successfully urging them to change their name to Egg. However, they were signed by Deram and released their first album in spring of 1970. Not without the influence of Arthur Brown/Vincent Crane, it was a solid debut. Encompassing the record’s second side, the instrumental "Symphony No. 2" was substantial. (Of course, it also begged the question, where was No. 1?) Egg’s sophomore album however, remains the classic. It begins with Mont Campbell reciting the band’s autobiographical "Visit to Newport Hospital". Again the second side is dominated by an instrumental, this time the veritable "Long Piece No.3". The second section’s leitmotif is simply transcendent. Stewart provided the classic Hammond/Leslie tone, while drummer Brooks kept meticulous time. Prone digressions into wonderful moments of psychedelic weirdness, it was a truly complicated and original piece that for the most part avoided pomposity (perhaps its greatest triumph). The record has much in common with Stewart’s later Canterbury (sic) efforts. The band broke up in 1972, with Stewart and a returning Hillage both turning their attention to the band Khan. Egg would however record a final reunion album, The Civil Surface, for Virgin in 1974, simply because they were offered.(Progressive Rock/oldishpsychprog.ucoz.com)
