 Topic: Egg or Matching Mole? (albums)
Posted: February 20 2014 at 16:33 |
Again, 2 similarly rated albums (both around 3.65). Both are debuts from the Canterbury Scene, but which is your favourite?
Personally, never really got into the Matching Mole album that much, but I love the Egg album. I think it's their greatest by quite a way to be honest, and the only album by either of these bands that I own. One of my favourite "oddities", and a great album cover! (likewise with Matching Mole). I've posted them below if you haven't seen them  (by the way, not trying to be biased, just can't find 2 equally sized covers. I'll edit it if I can  )
Once again, thanks for any feedback!

For me it's no contest when it comes to their debuts, I prefer Matching Mole's self titled effort.

Great pairing! I really like both, but I have to give it to MM ... for tracks like "Signed Curtain", "Immediate Curtain", and "Instant Kitten".

Even tougher would be The Polite Force vs. Little Red Record.
I can't decide. Really enjoy both.

Both are superb - Mellotron-drenched MM S/T is awesome but Egg S/T is just amazing !!

Haven't heard the Mole album yet. I bought the Egg debut, but don't like it (yet) I'm crazy about Polite Force though!
