Title:	The Civil Surface
Label:	ESOTERIC RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	ECLEC 2003CD

"Egg were exponents of the so-called 'Canterbury' style of rock music and were focused around the compositional and keyboard playing skills of Dave Stewart (later in Hatfield & The North), Mont Campbell and Clive Brooks. The band recorded two superb albums for Decca Records between 1969 & 1971 before going their separate ways. In 1974 they recorded their final album for the newly-established Virgin record label. Featuring guest musicians such as Steve Hillage and members of the unique Henry Cow, The Civil Surface is now regarded as a classic of the 'Canterbury' and progressive genres. This Esoteric Recordings release has been remastered from the original tapes and is certain to the many who made the reissues of Egg's previous work such a success. The first official CD release of this classic album in sixteen years."

Originally released on Decca in 1969. "Egg featured the talents of Dave Stewart on keyboards, Mont Campbell on bass and Clive Brooks on drums and were associated with the so-called 'Canterbury' style of rock music pioneered by artists such as Caravan and Soft Machine. The trio produced music of startling originality and energy, drawing on influences ranging from rock to jazz to psychedelia to classical. This fusion resulted in one of the most enduring releases to appear on Decca's short lived Nova imprint and is now critically regarded as one of the more unique albums of the early 1970s." Includes two bonus tracks.

Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FLOPPY 005EP

"The Montreal-based duo of producer Guillaume Coutu Dumont (Luci/Chic Miniature) and audio artist Julien Roy (artificial.org) exists at the junction of diverse musical influences. Enveloping listeners in a subversive sonic environment ruled by elasticity and rhythm, Egg serves up aesthetically pleasing hybrid microhouse music that appeals to the head and feet alike. Following the group's acclaimed 2003 debut, Don't Pospone Joy (Mutek_Rec), Egg participated in numerous events and festivals around the world and released on Mutek_Rec and Karat Records. The Super Cracker EP is their latest masterpiece of Canadian styled microhouse featuring a booming remix of top tech-funker Mossa (Mo's Ferry, Circus Company, Morris Audio, Orac)."

Title:	Don't Postpone Joy
Label:	MUTEK (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	MTK FAB001CD

"The Montreal based duo Egg. Julien Roy is known for his work behind the renown artistic collective Artificiel and has releases on the Oral and PeP labels. Until recently known more as a percussionist, Guillaume Coutu-Dumont's experiences as a session musician have taken him from the International Jazz Festival of Montreal to the jazz festival of St-Louis (Senegal) and the recording of 3 albums. Together as Egg, they have successfully set themselves at the intersection of multiple influences -- guided by a distinct experimental interest, Egg craft a blend of acoustic instrumentation, tinged with the elements of dub and micro-house, which result in an insatiable amalgamation of infectious body-music. Over a year in the making, their debut full-length, Don't Postpone Joy presents a softly subversive musical universe that is both playful and carefully calibrated to open itself upon repeated listens. Egg have truly defined a signature of their own that compliments the fellow artists in their community, but justly remarks them as a force to be reckoned with in the global electronic scene."
