ARGUS

Having lucked upon Wishbone Ash some 7 years after they released their first album it took me almost 3 months after this to discover "Argus". I bought their 2nd album 1st (I know it doesn't make sense!) "Pilgrimage" ...yes not bad, then their 8th album "New England" 2nd (!), yes it was good but all the written hype in old press cuttings was for their 3rd album from 1972, "Argus".

So I finally relented and bought "Argus" in late 1977 expecting to be underwhelmed. I was not. A classic progressive rock album in the truest sense...you can almost imagine being one of Tolkien's characters from "Lord of The Rings"...and especially on Side 2.

All songs are exceptional and music is monumental......a great ethereal experience. Twin harmony lead guitar passages at their finest throughout plus ground breaking solos from Andy Powell on "Sometime World" and Ted Turner on "The King Will Come".

I was 5 years too late in discovering it, if you haven't got it yet, hopefully you'll be 34 years too late when you buy it straight away! You will not be dissappointed.
