HEXAMERON

My first encounter with Nick Magnus opus was "Children of Another God", though I already was aware of his important contribution to Steve Hackett's solo endeavor. Myself a long time follower and appreciattor of Steve's music. Children...gave me a big shot and good impression, I was deeply grateful someone can still come with such sweet and spooky melodies, in my taste the best representatives of prog-symphonic and classic music.

I must confess that going for Hexameron after the exposition to Children was kind of a disappointing experience, because indeed Hexameron is quite different, and to some extent, can be said, in tune with other reviews in this site, Children is better.

But, as time passed, and with the advent of his last opus N'Monix, a new listen to Hexameron made some magical work in my musical ear, and now I see Hexameron is a very good and enjoyable album, with the same type of beautiful melodies I found in Children...

The three albums of this skillful keyboard musician are now a big delight to listen, each one with its own features. I would like to indulge in musical technical descriptions of each track, but it is not an easy task for me, English is my 2nd language.
