argent/ring of hands

DBL CD SET

1969/1970 releases from former Zombie Rod Argent's pop/prog outfit.The first self titled album features intricate keyboard work throughout from Rod Argent which sounds like a late-period Zombies, with a much heavier hard/progressive rock feel".Ring Of Hands" from 1970 wanders into pop familiarity from time to time, but only mildly, like on "Chained" or "Where Are We Going Wrong," and, even so, Rod Argent's playing appropriately protrudes through most of songs to give Ring of Hands an independent feel. Not as progressive as the albums that followed. track listing: Like Honey - Liar - Be Free - Schoolgirl - Dance In The Smoke - Lonely Hard Road - The Feeling's Inside - Freefall - Stepping Stone - Bring You Joy - Celebration - Sweet Mary - Cast Your Spell Uranus - Lothlorien - Chained - Rejoice - Pleasure - Sleep Won't Help Me - Where Are We Going Wrong
