Revolutions 2CD

Magenta‘s first studio album was quite the undertaking for Rob Reed. Revolutions started out as the next (forth) Cyan album, and it was only after Rob decided to try using Christina‘s vocals to see if they would fit in this Prog setting, that he decided a different direction would be persued. And the rest, as they say, is history. The world welcomed Magenta with open arms and Cyan were put on the back-burner for over two decades.

It was an extremely ambitious debut for a new band/project to release a double album, but it was extremely well received and soon a live band was formed.

Revolutions has remained untouched but it is still loved by the Prog faithful and many of the songs are still present, and adored, in live performances 20 years later.
