This is Magenta’s first release in four years, and fans might recognise it as a return to popular early albums such as 2004’s Seven. It’s three tracks long – including the 26-minute monster rocker Trojan – with familiar neo touches, including some ace keyboard widdle from lynchpin Rob Reed and Gilmour guitar flourishes from Chris Fry, peppered with a soupçon of 80s rave. Tidy.

Jo is a journalist, podcaster, event host and music industry lecturer who joined Kerrang! in 1999 and then the dark side – Prog – a decade later as Deputy Editor. Jo's had tea with Robert Fripp, touched Ian Anderson's favourite flute (!) and asked Suzi Quatro what one wears under a leather catsuit. Jo is now Associate Editor of Prog, and a regular contributor to Classic Rock. She continues to spread the experimental and psychedelic music-based word amid unsuspecting students at BIMM Institute London and can be occasionally heard polluting the BBC Radio airwaves as a pop and rock pundit. Steven Wilson still owes her £3, which he borrowed to pay for parking before a King Crimson show in Aylesbury.
