According to the ROSFest website, Magenta is signed on for next years' fest. Don't really know a lot about them. Comments?

Been listening to samples today, definitely liking what I've heard. Right up my symphonic alley. I'm hearing a Yes/Genesis vibe, Chris blurted out IZZ at one point. Would be really cool if the ROSFest promoters could get Mostly Autumn as well, a couple of female-fronted bands would be a nice change of pace. BTW, their CDs come highly recommended by Greg Walker. I'm SURE we'll being hearing some of this stuff on Overdrive soon...

I just got the two latest Magenta CDs, so you'll be hearing stuff on Wednesday night at the latest.

Bought their CD 'Seven' recently. Extremely good.
