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. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

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

Matching Mole reigns supreme. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

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!
