(Symphonic Progressive Rock) Nick Magnus - Children Of Another God (2010), FLAC (image+.cue+covers), lossless

Nick Magnus is a composer, keyboard player and producer, starting his musical career in early 1976 with the cult symphonic rock ensemble The ENID. After that Magnus joined a band which was called AUTUMN. They recorded some tracks but it wasn't until 1999 the recordings were released on a mini CD. Magnus is most known for his work with the formal GENESIS guitarist Steve HACKETT. In 1978 HACKETT put a band together for touring with the "Please Don't Touch" material. When HACKETT recorded the next album "Spectral Mornings" Magnus was playing the keyboards and wrote some of the music as well. They released another magnificent album "Defector" but after that the band fell apart. When HACKETT released "Cured", Magnus was the only musician to appear on that album. After that they released two more albums on which HACKETT and Magnus were accompanied by various session musicians. After his adventure with GTR HACKETT recorded another album with Magnus and several well known vocalists. At the time the record business had completely lost interest in the GENESIS guitar hero, it wasn't until 2001 "Feedback 86" was released.

Meanwhile Magnus played the keyboards for progressive and mainstream rock albums of Duncan Browne, China Crisis, RENAISSANCE and many more. Later on Magnus was involved in the production of various compilation projects. In 1993 Magnus released his first solo effort "Straight On Until Morning". This album was a typical product of a keyboard player : very smooth but barely exciting album. In 1999 Magnus released "Inhaling The Green". This album was more exciting to listen to and contained a lot of other influences. In 2004 Nick Magnus created his masterpiece "Hexameron". This album has a sound which is much more organic than his other solo projects. "Hexameron" is a return to form for Magnus. More than ever it is clear that this man's contribution to the sound of Steve HACKETT was essential.
