Magnesis -Alice au Pays des Délires -2019 (France)
Founded in Dijon, France in 1987 - Still active as of 2018
MAGNÉSIS, progressive rock group have been maked up in 1987 by 2 high school friends Frédéric Przybyl (author) and Eric Tillerot (author, composer, performer). GENESIS, YES and progressive rock of 70' lovers, they decided to form MAGNÉSIS, a progressive rock group wich is on the same line as Peter GABRIEL in GENESIS and Christian Décamps from the french group ANGE.
Since, MAGNÉSIS is pacing up and down Burgundy's roads to perform and to revive progressive rock based on legends and medieval inspirations as english groups as MARILLION, IQ or PENDRAGON in the middle 80'. A spectacular progressive rock with costumes, make up and masks. MAGNÉSIS' music is close to the best of MARILLION, french texts make us think of ANGE and the show of Peter GABRIEL's GENESIS.
Now listening to: Focus - Focus 11
And it's very good too, I have to say.
IQ - Ever - the 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition.
Although this album has never been amongst my favourite IQ albums, this remaster/remix is really superb and adds a lot to the original. I like it a lot more now than I did before!
The 5.1 surround sound SACD of Deep Purple’s “Machine Head”.
“Smoke On The Water” sounded every bit as awesome as I thought it would. (as did “ Highway Star”, “Lazy”’, “Space Truckin’”, etc.)
The 5.1 surround sound SACD of Roxy Music’s “Avalon”.
WOW - THIS was an album made for this format. It sounds phenomenal in regular stereo - any album mixed by Bob Clearmountain and mastered by Bob Ludwig is always going to sound great (having Rhett Davies on production doesn’t hurt either, and Roxy was always a great band, full stop); however, in 5.1 SACD, you would think it was originally recorded this way. You feel like you’re in the studio with them.
HIGHLY recommended.
