Egg – The Polite Force (Esoteric Recordings / Deram) — With Dave Stewart - organ, piano, tone generator, orchestron; Mont Campbell - bass, vocals; Clive Brooks – drums
Such a shock losing Lake this week. Greg with Crimson & ELP were absolute favorites as the albums were released so many years ago. Finally after thinking & reading about it all week I have chance to play some. "Peace -- A Beginning" for :37 and "Pictures of a City" at 8:12 are timeless. King Crimson ~ In The Wake of Poseidon Atlantic, 1970
The album cover just doesn't convey the "feel" of this album so I am posting the first track here. A voice that could put the "spooky" in Spooky Tooth and horns that kick and a sax solo that's killer too.
Some of my all time favorite lyrics by Lake . . . "Stones of Years" "Has the dawn ever seen your eyes? Have the days made you so unwise? Realize, you are. Had you talked to the winds of time, Then you'd know how the water rhyme, Taste of wine, How can you know where you've been in time?" Emerson, Lake & Palmer ~ Tarkus Cotillion, 1971
Yeah I know. My first inclination was it teetered on the line of prog/not prog but its kinda misplaced nitpicking on my part. Either way, amazing album. An old favorite.
