Prog-Watch 418
My special guest on Prog-Watch this week is none other than Rob Reed—the prolific UK composer and multi-instrumentalist who has brought you great Progressive Rock through his numerous bands (including Cyan, ChimpanA, Magenta, Kiama, and Kompendium) and his own Mike Oldfield-inspired Sanctuary projects! I spoke with Rob about numerous interesting topics, including the new Magenta album, the state of the music industry, and much more. Hear part of that conversation and lots of great music in which Rob has had a hand, including one from the new Magenta album!
Robert Reed is a professional composer and multi-instrumentalist from the United Kingdom, who has done many projects for both film and television. In the 1990s, he began creating delightful Progressive Rock music with his early projects Cyan and Fyreworks, and then went on to form what is probably his best known project, Magenta. Magenta is still active today, having just released a new album entitled We Are Legend. Along the way he has had a hand in a number of other projects, including ChimpanA, Kompendium, Kiama, and his own Mike Oldfield-inspired Sanctuary albums.
