I don't think you'll be disappointed withThe Gathering DVD. Especially if you enjoy "watching" female fronted bands.

I'm not sold on Magenta yet.  I bought "Revolutions", "Seven" and the "Broken" ep, and have given each one a good number of spins.  Nothing's jumping out at me yet -- you know, that one song or that one little fragment that catches on with you and draws you in.  Any ideas or suggestions?

If you already have those discs, then I would suggest getting their DVDThe Gathering. All the songs are performed better live IMO. The guitar and vocals shine in this performance for sure. Stand out tracks for me are: "King of the Skies", "The White Witch" and "Pride".

You know, it's strange...I kind of gave up on them too, but for some reason I was drawn back to Magenta after I saw Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe in the theatres. I was reminded of the track "The White Witch" after seeing the movie and it just took off from there. Then I boughtThe Gathering DVD and Another Time, Another Place live album as well. They also have a new studio album coming in 2006, titled Home.

I actually find I enjoy Magenta more than say, Mostly Autumn, when it comes to female prog outfits. Magenta is more to my liking, and I didn't care much for Mostly Autumn's new album, Storms of Still Water either.

Just keep listening, Magenta is bound to please.

Does anybody else here like Magenta? IMO they are one of the BEST new symphonic-prog bands right now! If you're not familiar with them, check out this link (it's very informative):
