Magenta (1): Cyan was formed in 1984 while Reed was still at school, although the band broke up after only a few gigs and one demo tape release. Reed takes his influences from bands like Genesis, Mike Oldfield, Yes, Eurythmics, and Björk. Though heavily influenced by progressive rock, Reed is a professional songwriter and has done many other projects for both film and television
The most successful of these projects was called Trippa. Described as "a contemporary Eurythmics for the new millennium" mixing their own brand of edgy industrial pop with soaring orchestral arrangements. The band featured Christina Booth on vocals and Rob Reed on guitars and keyboards, joined by Rhiannon Stundon (backing vocals) and Ryan Aston (drums). The band released the Trippa EP in 1999, and were voted ‘Record of the Week’ on Virgin Radio, appearing on British television a number of times. It was during this time that Reed asked Christina to be lead vocalist for a progressive rock project he had in mind, and the initial ideas for Magenta were born.
Magenta was originally a studio project, with Rob playing most of the instruments. However, once their debut Revolutions was released in 1999 there was a demand for live shows. Rob recruited (along with Christina) Chris Fry and Martin Rosser on guitar, Matthew Cohen on bass and Allan Mason-Jones on drums. Recently, Matt left the band and was replaced by Chris' younger brother Dan. The band released their third album Home in 2006 together with New York Suite. In 2008 the much darker album Metamorphosis saw the light of day. Their latest release to date with new songs Chameleon appeared in 2011.
Magenta (2): Magenta was formed by Anders Odden during the summer of 1995. Vilde Lockert joined him on vocals that autumn. They released their first EP simply named Magenta in 1997. The song Secret Sky went into the charts in Norway and established their career. Anders Odden was already a well-known name to most of the music-oriented people. He’s been members of bands like Apoptygma Berzerk, Cadaver as well as recording for Satyricon, and being liveguitarist for Celtic Frost. The album Periode was released in March 1998, and Magenta went on tour in Norway and Germany. Magenta signed a new record-deal in April 2001 with the German indielabel Re:pop Music. The summer of 2001 saw the recording of the album Little Girl Lost, when they joined forces with producer, Vegard Ibo Blomberg The album was released in Germany the 24th of June 2002, and was very well received in the German alternative press. It reached number 4 in both the German Alternative Charts during the fall of 2002. Magenta made a video for All Over featuring Mortiis, but were quite stunned to find out that Coca-Cola company wanted this song for their worldwide release of Sprite Zero. The best chart position so far has been reached when Magenta CD single All Over climbed to number 2 in the official charts in Greece on the 8.7.2002 when this campaign went into a frenzy there.
Magenta played a lot of gigs in 2002/2003 and the took some time off after the Arvika Festival in Sweden in 2003. Anders re-joined Apoptygma Berzerk on the recording of their new album "You And Me Against The World" in 2004/2005. In 2006 Magenta was reinforced with guitar manic Daniel Hill. This was very inspiring for the band and led to one of the most creative period in the bands history. Magenta released a track together with Apoptygma Berzerk called Friendly Fire in the beginning of 2006, and this kicked Magenta into a serious writing process for the new album. The first new song of the new direction is Darkest Dream. Magenta was also enforced with Jonas Groth who contributed to the production of the rest of the new album. Art And Accidents was release in November 2008 digitally and then officially on February 9, 2009.
A new album is recorded and will be released in February 09 featuring new band member Daniel Hill (Guitar, Bass, Vocals) and guest appearances from several known Norwegian musicians including members of Apoptygma Berzerk, Gluecifer and Gothminister.
Magenta (3): A folk band from UK which released at least the album Canterbury Moon in 1978.
Magenta (4): An ethnic/entechna music project from Greece, with songs written by Michalis Nikoloudis (music) and Michalis Koumbios (lyrics) sung by Anastasia Moutsatsou. They have released one CD.
Magenta (5): A synthpop band from Spain. They released a LP titled "La Reina del Salón" in 1985.
Magenta (6): little is known about this band from Belgium

Magenta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No life in the past (Although she tried to turn and run away)
No life for the future (No life in the past)
How we love you
No life for the future (No life for the future times)
No life in the past (Although she tried to turn and run away)
No life for the future (No life in the past)
How we love you
Take a look at your future
Take a look at the past
Just the same for your future life
How long can it last
Can I live for my own life
Can he live on his own
Creating my own new world
Why feeling so scared
This life from day to day
His every need, I try to please
His life to ease however hard
Do as I say
Don't think for yourself
Can't see which way to turn
Those tear filled nights all alone
Just crying out on my own
Lying back, the pain, the breath
The hands all over me
Better this than the other way
Can't get away
I'm all alone
All alone
All alone
Can't get away
I'm all alone
All alone
All alone
Life for the future times
Although she tried to turn and run away
No life for the past
Life for the future times
Although she tried to turn and run away
No life for the past
Take a look at the future
Take a look at the past
Can I live for my own life
Can he live on his own
Well Autumn's here in the scale of life
No more a lover, no more a wife
Take no note of passing time
Swiftly reaching the end of the line
Dragging you down with him
Facing the truth that you don't love him
Turn your back and walk away
Time to look for a brand new day
He cares for me, he shares with me
We're mirror in our home
As the words come out, the truth it hits
It's there I've always known
I've been holding out
That love will find its way
Hoping that love will come
Holding on
While the love just fades away
Well Autumn's here in the scale of life
No more a lover, no more a wife
Make a note of passing time
Live it full to the end of the line
Facing a new world
See the truth that you don't need him
Turn your back and walk away
Time to start a brand new day
This house a home, it's just my cage
I've got to break free
To sing and dance, to laugh to love
But most of all be me
I've been holding out
But now I'll find the way
Living my life again
Moving on
It's the dawn of my new day
The song Gluttony by Magenta is a representation of the complexities of human relationships and the search for personal freedom. The opening lines of the song, "No life for the future, no life in the past," symbolize the singer's struggle to live in the present and escape the past regrets and future fears that haunt her. The repetition of the line, "How we love you," suggests a great attachment or co-dependence with a partner or lover.
As the song progresses, the singer questions her own autonomy and explores the possibility of living her own life. She questions, "Can I live for my own life? Can he live on his own?" The lines "Do as I say, don't think for yourself. Can't see which way to turn," emphasize the pressure she feels to conform to societal and relationship norms. The singer acknowledges the pain and tears she's endured alone, "Those tear-filled nights all alone, just crying out on my own."
The song ends on a positive note, with the singer accepting the passing of time, letting go of toxic relationships, and finding the courage to live her life, be herself, and move on. The lines "I've been holding out, but now I'll find the way. Living my life again, moving on. It's the dawn of my new day," symbolize a sense of liberation and self-discovery, and the autumnal imagery in the chorus signifies the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

I first came across this song somewhere around 2006. The opening riff popped into my head randomly just now and I had to look it up. I probably haven't heard it in 10 years or more. God it still sounds glorious.
