"F2 Music is delighted to announce details of the much anticipated third studio album by Magenta. Home will be officially released on 1st June, and copies will be available at the album launch concert at the Herringthorpe Leisure Centre, Rotherham on 13 May 2006. Also, all pre-orders for the CD placed at www.progrock.co.uk will be supplied as soon as the stock is available.
The album is a concept piece and tells the story of a woman who emigrates from Liverpool in the early 1970âs to "find herself" in the USA. The CD is 68 minutes long and includes contributions from a variety of guests including Magenta regular Martin Shellard on guitar and Troy Donockley (Iona, Mostly Autumn) on Uilleann Pipes and whistles. Once again, the album has been written and produced by Rob Reed, with lyrics by Steve Reed. Musically, âHomeâ represents a further development for the band, combining the Magenta sound established on Revolutions, Seven and the two singles Broken and Iâm Alive, with one or two surprises! The album also marks Christinaâs finest vocal performance with the band to date.
Home will be released in two separate versions. The first will be a single CD edition, with slipcase, and a 16-page booklet. The CD is available for pre-order NOW and costs £10 (including postage to anywhere in the world) from www.progrock.co.uk and the full track listing is shown below:
