New Magenta Album Coming Sept 2; New Video

Magenta are back with their 6th album, and the first video cut from it sounds great! From the sound of this track and most of their previous album it seems they've recovered from their encounter with the dark side (their 4th album Metamorphosis), although this album, entitled "The 27 Club," does seem to have a bit of a mystical death theme to it: it loosely deals with how many well-known musicians have died at the age of 27. This single is edited from a 12-minute epic found on the album. It's got the same great orchestral keyboard textures and writing that we've come to expect from Magenta, and of course Christina Booth's great voice and Chris Fry's distinctive guitar.
