Noted reviewer MJ Brady writes on the Proggnosis site about Ego, by Italian keyboardist Alex Argento, "What an excellent piece of musical work he has created for his first recording as a solo artist. This CD is an absolute must for fans of over the top, technically challenging prog/fusion music with the highest degree of musicianship, writing, and production standards, in other words, it is as good as it gets. The keyboards and drumming are first rate fusion excellence on this CD, but I would be only providing half of the equation as to why this is such a great fusion recording; the other half being the guitarists and bassist that compliment each song, Alex has enlisted the efforts of quite a list of great guitarists, and they are not at all just occasional soloists here. Marco Sfogli, who did some phenomenal work on James LaBrie's "Elements Of Persuasion", helps out as both a structure accompanist, as well as providing some searingly freakish solos. There are also some spot solos by fellow Italians - Fabrizio Leo (Bicio), Alessandro Benvenuti, and Vittorio Falanga guesting on one song. This is a must have recording for those that are at home with the company of artists and bands listed in this review." Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Fusion/Progressive), total running time, 62:16 - Alex Argento @ iTunes!
