On this week’s episode I wrap up my coverage of the phenomenally talented UK artist, Rob Reed! We’ll hear the remainder of my conversation with Rob, interspersed with a lot more great music from Magenta, an early 2000s project called Chimpan-A, and some of his fabulous Sanctuary project!

 

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.
