Argus - not really prog, but still a very good album. My favourite song here is "Sometime World" - I like the tempo change in the middle of it and the singing after the change (btw, can you remind me please of the musical term which refers to singing not words but syllables?).

Argus is a great record, and Time Was is easily my favorite song. In fact, I gotta play it right now!

I dithered for 5 mins ...  between Throw Down The Sword and The King Will Come ...

They almost feel like part of the same song ... I guess the twin guitar solo of Throw Down The Sword wins out in the end ...

There were times when I stood at Death's own door ... only waiting for an answer!

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

"can you remind me please of the musical term which refers to singing not words but syllables"

Do you mean "scat"? Kind of like jazz singers on occasion? I think maybe Ella Fitzgerald did some of this.

I think vocalising is more appropriate here.

All of them. There's not a bad note on that album.

I do think Blowin Free as being sub-par compared to the other superb tracks on that album. But that track would've been the best on Four or any other later album.

I went for Warrior , but Sword is also excellent
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
