Magenta’s Metamorphosis (2008) features just four tracks: 20-minute epics “The Ballad Of Samuel Layne” and “Metamorphosis” sit alongside the shorter “Prekestolen” and “Blind Faith,” showcasing composer Rob Reed’s ability to merge complexity with accessibility. Magenta are a Welsh progressive-rock outfit currently consisting of Christina Booth on lead vocals, Rob Reed on keyboards and backing vocals, and Chris Fry on electric guitar. Reed takes his musical influences from ‘70s-era progressive rock acts such as Genesis, Mike Oldfield, Yes, and Renaissance.
