The new Nick Magnus CD "Children Of Another God" is due for release in mid-March.
Similar to his previous album "Hexameron", this offering will feature contributions by vocalists Pete Hicks and Tony Patterson, Steve Hackett, and John Hackett among others.
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/nick.magnus/coag.htm - Check out Nick's website for further details.
Personally, I loved Hexameron, which evoked great memories of the Spectral Mornings/Defector era Steve Hackett band sound. I can't wait to hear what Nick has in store this time round! -------------

Richard, Which one do you like? This will be Nick's 4th solo album (Straight On Till Morning, Inhaling Green, Hexameron). -------------

Inhaling Green I like a lot. Not as keen about Hexamaron although hopefully it might grow on me.

I have now ordered Hexameron from http://www.caminorecords.co.uk/ I also ordered John Hackett's solo album Checking Out Of London and Ian McDonald's solo album Driver's Eyes while I was at it  (both of which feature Steve Hackett!!)If I enjoy Hexameron, I will order Children Of Another God too later. The two earlier Nick Magnus albums seems to be hard to find. What are they like? |

The earlier albums are instrumental. Of the two, I'd have to say I prefer Inhaling Green. Straight On... features several short compositions. Reasonably standard fare. Much of it sounds like pieces written for film/TV. Inhaling sees Nick venture into some longer works including the 16 minute title track. The composition is getting more adventurous, with some "new age" flourishes. I don't think either of them sound quite as full, warm, and well produced as Hexameron but they definitely have their moments. John Hackett's album was, for me, a grower. I wasn't immediately taken with it but after several listens it got me. The first track - Late Trains - is excellent. I haven't heard Ian McDonald's album. I'll definitely need to seek it out! -------------

I have now listened to Hexameron several times and it hasn't really impressed me yet, though I find it enjoyable. The title track from the new album, on the other hand, I have played a lot and really like! I have pre-ordered the new album.... |
