Post Description

Singles/EPs/Fan Club/Promo, released in 2006, United Kingdom.

Als je een echte liefhebber bent van deze band..... De albums zijn nog steeds te koop ...... dan komen er mogelijk meer van dit soort  albums.

I have made sure that I listened to this double album at least 4 times before considering writing this review in the light of the 2 previous reviews. Let"s make one thing perfectly clear - THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ALBUM. Personally I don"t really care too much to write lines and lines of review regarding the album cover/sleeve design - I am more interested in the music. I agree that MAGENTA have taken on a wonderful style of their own whilst sticking true to the Prog styles of YES, GENESIS, PINK FLOYD etc. Rob Reed must be one of the most under-rated writers of Prog music around today and with Christina"s superb voice (Which is getting better and better with every new release) they make a unique sound that other artists struggle to match.
