Argos - Halfway Between Heaven and Mirth (2024)

 

The seventh album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.

Three guests added keyboards, violin, electric violin and saxophones.

I have always rated Argos as one of the best neo-prog and indeed one of the best progressive rock acts in today's world. So I was happy to get a copy of their latest album.... just to disover that their 2024 album, the one I am reviewing now, fell down the cracks in my office and has not been reviewed... until now.

Halfway Between Heaven And Mirth is clocking in at fifty minutes.

The music here is a blend of neo-prog and Canterbury prog.

The music is mid-tempo, lush and pretty groovy.

The vocals are good and the saxophones are adding a lot of colours to the music.  

The result is another good album from this band. This is not one of their better albums. It is still an album well worth checking out.
