Tigermoth Records and Nineteen-73 artist promotions are pleased to announce that the long overdue new Magenta album ‘We Are Legend’ will be released on April 20th 2017.

The album features 3 tracks, opening with the epic ‘Trojan’ which runs in at 26 minutes with ‘Colours’ and ‘Legend’ being the remaining songs. The CD will be accompanied by a DVD containing the whole album in 5.1 surround sound plus interview and performance videos.

Rob Reed says:
“I always think that modern albums are too long. I love the format of the classic prog albums of the 70’s which were around 40-50 minutes, side one having a long epic and side 2 two containing two shorter tracks. Yes made ‘Relayer’ and ‘Close to the Edge’ in that format.”

‘We Are Legend’ can be pre-ordered from www.magenta-web.com

The band will be performing much of the new album at the upcoming gigs.

Cardiff -The Globe March 31
CRS Wath -Montgomery Hall April 1

That's what I want to hear more off, 5.1 from the beginning. The only production better would be Dolby Atmos.

That promo suggests that the next logical step (after Oldfield) is Vangelis. Sounds great, but.

That might just be part of an intro. There's another cample/video with part of a song that's much more Magenta. And the "Oldfield" stuff was Robert Reed solo.

Bought We Are Legend from their Bandcamp page. Much to my (pleasant) surprise, the FLAC version is 24 bit hi-res. Very well worth the £7/$9.38 price in my book.

Ordered from Laser's Edge!

Refresh me on whether the FLAC version can be used with iTunes.

My musical tastes have changed dramatically over the past 5-6 years. Magenta used to be a band I practically worshipped. Kris and Lambsie can both corroborate that. I do own most of their catalog through "27" but my prog ears (no pun intended) lately listen to a lot more Avant, RIO and angular music. I'm also spending a lot of time these days listening to the Hi-Los, 4 Freshmen, jazz vocalese in general, and a lot of doowop (the music of my youth).

All that said, 5 minutes after hearing a Legend cample and remembering why I loved them and my singular admiration for Ms. Booth, I bought this album.

FLAC can be easily converted to ALAC, which is iTunes compatible.
