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 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care what I'm seeing, seeing
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Kick myself in the stomach
Follow me down the path
Follow me into a tree
Follow me down the path as I walk into a hole
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Home
Home
Home
Home
The lyrics of Magenta's song “Home” are raw and emotional, depicting the pain and desperation of someone who wants nothing more than to escape from their current situation and return to a place they feel safe and comfortable. The repetition of the phrase “I wanna go home” adds to the sense of urgency and longing in the song, while the lines “Don't follow me” and “Kick myself in the stomach” suggest a desire for independence and self-punishment.
The image of following someone “down the path” and into a tree is intriguing, as it could represent a journey into the unknown or a descent into darkness. The line “Follow me down the path as I walk into a hole” is particularly haunting, suggesting that the singer is willing to risk everything to find their way back home. Overall, “Home” is a deeply personal and introspective song that speaks to the universal human need for love, security, and belonging.

Christina has that amazing voice! The band is good, too. But Magenta is most recognized for the wonderful vocals.

Unlike the other commenter... Renaiassace had a similar singer... And the melodies /time changes...chordal structures all signify it as prog . keyboard sounds of early genesis...guitar could fall into a hackett style ..some squire in the bass sounds... Yeah ...prog!
Bare Bear Hands
Dude, I can hear the bass, I call it Prog.
Gustavo Gutiérrez
Hearing this from Mexico... a mix of very different styles and currents...that I would think are like water and oil. Beautiful voice. Overall feel is quiet, in my taste lacks power, dynamics and energy to qualify as progressive rock... some tracks seems to intent the cuts and changes typical of the genre, not sure to what degree of success. There are several moments of great musicianship. I liked it overall... but progressive rock.. not so much. Most songs are sang as very quiet ballads, her voice is too sweet and pretty to consider her a rock vocalist, but the album has beautiful melodies and some good arrangements.
Geoff Gilligan
@Gustavo Gutiérrez what I am saying is, this is prog rock 100%
Gustavo Gutiérrez
Just my opinion but if you read my comment I actually praised the album. You disagree that’s fine I intended no offense.. peace

I think you must be hard of hearing or you are listening to something else here !!!
