dr. siegel's flied egg shooting machine

Flied Egg, consisting of former Strawberry Path alumnists Shigero Narumo and Hiro Tsunoda, supported by former Brush leader, Masayoshi Takanaka, released two albums in the early 70s, Dr Siegels Fried Egg Machine being the first and undoubtedly the better of the two. Dr Siegels is a much more keyboard-orientated affair, with Narumo adding a Moog, celeste and harpsichord to his usual Hammond and piano lineup. On Dr Siegels the musical influences are more Uriah Heep than the previous Hendrix-inspired leanings, although touches of ELP, Deep Purple, Birth Control and even Black Sabbath find their way into the musical melange. A rich selection of musical styles, culminating with Guide Me To The Quietness, a glorious prog epic that brings an inventive and enjoyable album to a climactic finale."
