Magenta

"When Rob Reed released “Revolutions” in 2001 under the banner “Magenta” little did he realise that he had started something that would take on a life of its own….

“Revolutions” was originally created as a studio-only project. Built around four long pieces of music, with lyrics based on the concept of Faith by his brother Steve, Rob played most of the instruments himself, with guest appearances from Andy Edwards, Martin Shellard and Chris Fry on lead guitar, later to become a permanent band member. The masterstroke was bringing in Christina on lead vocals, who had previously played with Rob in the band Trippa, as well as appearing on several recordings by Robs’ Progressive Rock project Cyan. The album, which took its musical inspiration from many of Robs heroes such as Yes, Genesis and Marillion, was released to wide acclaim."
