Band members on their second album, Odessey and Oracle (the misspelling was not deliberate, but very 1968!) were: Colin Blunstone (lead vocals); Rod Argent (keyboards); Paul Atkinson (guitar); Chris White (bass); Hugh Grundy (drums).
The recipe included a heavy dollop of Rod's mellotron and other keyboards, mix with Colin's smooth/ otherworldly lead vocals, the massed vocal harmonies, all set inside melodic rock songs that are bright (sunny) and breezy.
Where do they all belong? The indifference that met the record meant the band broke up and Colin Blunstone's solo career and the Argent band was born. Sometimes the path reveals itself.
