The Civil Surface
Third and final album from this important trio of Dave Stewart, Clive Brooks, and Mont Campbell augmented by the Northettes Amanda Parsons, Ann Rosenthal and Barbara Gaskins. Oh yeah...an obscure guitarist named Steve Hillage contributed ts to one of the tracks. Although possibly my least favorite of the 3 Egg albums, that isn't saying much since they are all quite remarkable. This record is a vital cog in the Canterbury axis of bands. In fact as you listen to the album you recognize that it is in fact the quintessential Canterbury album - all the elements are in place. It is the obvious musical antecedant to National Health. Can anyone coax such freaky sounds out of an organ like Dave Stewart? This has been out of print for some time and now available again with fresh mastering and new liner notes courtesy of project coordinator Mark Powell. An important part of any progressive music collection. Essential.
