EGG (5): A noisecore project from California (myspace.com/eggology).

Egg (6): Project of two female musicians from Groningen, Netherlands.

1. Egg, The Canterbury band that released only three organ-prominent albums! After guitarist Steve Hillage left the band Uriel (also known as Arzachel), the other members, keyboardist Dave Stewart (organ, piano and tone generator) , bassist Mont Campbell (also organ, piano and French Horn), and drummer Clive Brooks reformed themselves as a trio. They released a pair of eccentric, complex, mostly-instrumental albums in 1969 (Egg) and 1970 (The Polite Force) before splitting up. Stewart joined Hatfield & The North at that time, and Egg reformed briefly to record one more album, The Civil Surface, in 1974. Their music is very structured and composed, with classical pieces Johann Sebastian Bach and some light jazzy influences.

2. Julien Roy is known for his work behind the renown artistic collective Artificiel and has releases on the Oral and PeP labels.

    mweave5707 because even thought they all share a significant number of members, they don't really sound similar at all.

    The Polite Force has to be their best. The Civil Surface is good, but like Dirk Campbell says, the mixing is terrible on that album.

    I don't know why it took me so long to really get into this band (Prog band), they are so amazing. Polite Force is currently rocking my socks, which are currently in the other room.

    The other egg-related band is called THE Egg. This is, simply, Egg, and it's a fucking great band. Love how one of their songs was used for opening the Prog Rock Britannia documentary.

    I'm with Boppingelf. Egg (the Canterbury band) are legendary.

    Why oh why have they confused two different bands with the same name and only put the one piece of their whole repertoire I tend to skip ?!!! I hope someone sorts it out so we can hear the rest !!
