With a strong Canterbury influence implanted into their sound, Egg's first album has the band looking to establish their niche as a progressive group, with Dave Stewart's sharp, effective keyboard work outlining much of the album's overall feel.
Mixing jazz and progressive rock drifts, the tracks on Egg contain rhythms and meters that are never at a standstill, with ongoing instrumental action encompassing nearly every track.
The fragmented instrumentals sport an attractive inexperience, especially on "Bulb" and "The Song of McGillicudie the Pussilanimous," which also introduce Egg's lighthearted whimsy.
Both "Blane" and "I Will Be Absorbed" represent the most colourful example of Egg's progressive rock fundamentals, with quick tempos and assertive keyboard runs.
Although Egg's cohesiveness as a band is in its early stages, Dave Stewart ascertains himself as an elite keyboard player throughout the album, later moving on to play with Hatfield and the North and National Health.
Egg's next album, 1971's Polite Force, has them sounding firmer and more self-contained, but their debut presents different progressive genres playing off of one another
