2x CD and full concert DVD.
Saturday 21st November will linger long in the memories of around 60 lucky Magenta fans
as Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios near Bath, England, played host to the band’s first live acoustic recording.
This is a record of this remarkable event. With Rob Reed making use of the Wooden Room’s superb
acoustic piano, and the band supplemented by a string quartet and oboe player, Magenta present
beautiful new arrangements of many of its best known pieces. As well as extensive excerpts from
both the “Home” and “Metamorphosis” albums, there are rare outings for Greed (from “Seven”) and both Cold and
Lemminkainen’s Lament (from “The Singles”).This is an opportunity to appreciate the charm
and subtleties of a band best known for its high-energy electric performances, and is not to be missed.
Magenta – unplugged but still the Real Deal.

"The first reason for doing the album was to get definitive versions of the songs recorded. Also a lot of Prog fans don't like buying singles, they'd much rather have the album format, and at 79 minutes we certainly have an albums worth of material.
We've bent over backwards to make sure the album stands up on its own. A lot of work has gone into giving people value for money, and making sure the new versions were as good as possible without being total rehashes of the previous version. Looking back at it now, I think it actually sounds like a band album in its own right, so I'm very happy with it."
