NEXUS

I doubt that many prog rock fans from the golden years (1972-75) would have held Argent up as thier favourite group - strictly second division with the likes of Manfred Mann's Earth Band - but the album "Nexus" was very seductive. Although a little cheesy in places, the content is often sublime. Check out "Music from the Sphere's", track 5, the guitar outro goes on for ever and you still want more. Russ Ballard was no Steve Howe but he always got our attention. If you want just one Argent CD then this is the one.
