    Eggstacy. So which one do you guys prefer? Egg’s quasi-proto debut or the all-out prog of The Polite Force? Or are you one of those Civil Surface weirdos?

    The Polite Force totally blew me away back in my shitty college apartment in 1992. Still does. Thick and meaty - complex - visceral - raging - ... ahhhh. I love moments like that when the first spin makes your head explode. I've only had a few moments like that- this was one for sure. Civil Surface is really great too... well... all of those albums are above and beyond for me. My fav Stewart music. Mont is simply amazing. Clive is a fantastic player too... or he wouldnt be in the band right?! lol

    I do love all three, but Civil edges them out for me with Civil a close second. The debut is definitely the last child.

    So that's a tie between both Civil's then ?

    I like both Hatfield debuts equally myself.

    I need to give those Eggs another shot. For some reason they never really clicked with me

    Whoops. My brain was semi-fried when I typed this and my English sucks even though its the only language I almost know. Meant to say: Polite is first, Civil second, debut third. I also enjoy both of Hatfield's debuts too

    Yeah, I hope you do - there is a ton of great things happening there. Newport Hospital, Long Piece No. 3, and Enneagram are the standouts for me, but I love most of the rest.

    I like Newport Hospital, Contrasong, Seven is a Jolly Good time a lot, but the rest doesn't click. I'll have to try Civil Surface at some point.

    EXACT same reaction here - albeit in 1994!

    I got this from Jørn Andersen at a record fair in Bergen; he was still running his Colours back then, recently boosted by the (relative) success of the Änglagård issue. It was on this occasion that he also vendored me that precious French twofer of the first Softs - the one with the femi lips inside running legs spiralling on the ocean-blue cover.

    Spun Polite Force today. Man, Newport Hospital is such a mighty track, everything else they did pales in comparison IMO.

    Everything else pales eh? haha. This is the thing I always find so cool about music. One man's loves are another's "meh" and so on. Long Piece No.3 is for me the high mark. Enneagram and Symphony No. 2 are a close second.

    No love for “I Will Be Absorbed”? That’s my favorite from the debut at the moment. Very chilled little tune.

    For some reason, I had “Contrasong” playing in me noggin all day as things were anti at the Gulag today. Now onto The Fall’s “Contraflow”. Walk on, milk it.

    I like "I Will Be Absorbed", but I don't love it. Newport Hospital gives me near Hatfield chills.

    I assume Enneagram is on Civil Surface? I'll collect, nay, absorb that one at some point.

    Yup, as are the (IMO) essential “Germ Patrol” and “Wring out the Ground”.

    Polite Force is such a massive step up from the debut, you're tempting me.

    Stop it! I'm supposed to be taking a break from my buying.

    ...and the fact that you can go buy these things nowadays without a serious mind numbing drive to every store in the city to "maybe" find one - is a nice plus.

    Here is the amazing thing about this music if you lump it all into one big pyle - there is so much to discover, so much depth, so much detail, etc that discovery never seems to get stale. I've been in constant discovery mode with this music after years of doing these binges - to me it doesn't really get much better. Canterbury is life. And a city in Kent. Dave Stewart is not the only god, so is Pip Pyle.
