BSArgent - BSNexus (1974){Japanese 2008 Mini Lp EICP 1017} [FLAC]

Progressive Rock | EAC Rip | FLAC(TRACKS)+CUE+LOG | HQ Covers (PNG) | Total 356 MB
Release: 2008 | Label: Epic Records | Recovery: 3%
"Nexus" is BSArgent's most progressive album. The pop indulgences of "Hold your head up" and "God gave rock and roll to you" are largely gone, to be replaced by much more structured and serious compositions.


From the synthesiser driven three part instrumental opener "The coming of Kohoutek" through the dramatic "Music from the spheres" to the slightly more traditional BSArgent on side 2 of the LP, there's a coherence throughout.

Almost inevitably, the album was not as successful as "In deep" or indeed "All together now". There were no obvious singles, the band relaying on the fan base they had acquired through their previous singles, to stay with them. It appears the lack of success for the album was a factor in Russ Ballard's subsequent departure, which in turn led to Argent (the band) rapidly becoming a spent force. "Nexus" however gave a wonderful illustration of how things could have been
