| 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've got to rearrange my life.." ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

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! ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

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 |
