Moorcock's more complex works are the Cornelius novels, _Byzantium 
Endures_ series, _Gloriana_, Dancers At the End of Time_, _Behold the 
Man_, _Warlord of the Air_ and its sequels.  The Elric stuff was written 
at great speed, and it shows (he would write a short novel in three days 
;)).

So, I don't think it's quite a fair comparison.  The allusiveness and 
strangeness of the Cornelius novels is a better place to start, if you are 
looking for depth.

Cheers, David Duffy.
