Magenta - Home (Limited Edition) (2019)

Rob Reed : “During the preparation for the Magenta 20th Anniversary shows, we decided to include a large selection from the underperformed HOME album. Having to recreate the tracks, meant having to re-visit the multi-tracks which were in a mess.

Not being able to resist a ‘tinker’ with the tracks, I ended up re-working the multitrack. Solving problems in the arrangements, adding fresh dynamics and colours. Keeping what was good about the original, the vocals which are amazing, but re-working the backing tracks. Adding new things, and then taking away anything that did not earn its keep from the regional recordings.

We were also very lucky to have Pete Jones (Tiger Moth Tales) to play saxophone on the track “Moving On”, like he did at the recent Magenta 20th Anniversary Show.

The result I think is a more dynamic and atmospheric interpretation of what we looking to achieve.

I hope you enjoy..”
