Prog Reviewer
3 stars Cyan mastermind Rob Reed and regular collaborator Christina Murphy join forces to co-front Magenta which considering its colour-based name and neo-prog stylings has a very credible argument for being the successor band to Cyan. This time around, the musical style has a heavy injection of Yes - right down to Reed attempting an approximation of Chris Squire's distinctive bass style - and it's a reasonably entertaining listen which has a few niggling issues (for instance, Rob Reed is still making his own vocal contributions, something he really needs to either get better at or stop including on the final cuts of his albums). Still, if you like Yes and don't mind a fairly unoriginal musical approach which doesn't really take many risks or open many doors it's an OK listen.
