Magenta : Lucky Man (2010)

Magenta release download single of the ELP Classic "Lucky Man" December 5th

Magenta is very excited to announce the release of their version of the wonderful Emerson, Lake and Palmer song "Lucky Man" as a download-only single. The song will be available exclusively from the band's Bandcamp site at http://magenta.bandcamp.com from December 5th.

The Magenta version will be available in 3 mixes priced at £1 each - an original mix, an extended version and an instrumental version. It was originally slated to appear on the Classic Rock Presents Prog ELP tribute CD, compiled to tie in with ELPs triumphant appearance at the High Voltage Festival during the summer, but failed to appear following the unfortunate last minute cancellation of the project.

Magenta multi-instrumentalist Rob Reed takes up the story:
"We have given the song the full-on Magenta treatment, and we hope the fans -- whether ours or ELPs -- will enjoy what we have done with it. We all certainly felt it was too good to be left on the shelf. Our arrangement also has a Christmassy feel to it, so it seemed right to issue it in December."

The band has also shot a video to go with the track, which will be available from December 5th on Youtube or on the Magenta website at www.magenta-web.com

Christina's voice is more than angelical, perfect for this type of prog music. so as the guitarr and the rest... many years and succes for these guys for many years to come.. kudos to all...!

What I love about this band, other than Christia's perfect voice, is they always pay tribute to the roots of prog rock weather it is in a cover like this or in originals. Great blend of talent, emotion, musicality comes thru.
