After getting hooked with the band, I bought all of their albums, except their 1996 masterpiece, Magenta Skycode.  Cool title isn’t it?  Unfortunately it is a very rare album (in fact mine is second hand) and it doesn’t come cheap, like many other out of print records.

Unlike many other albums, where you specifically like 2 or 3 tracks while the other are still good, but not that good, all Magenta Skycode tracks are excellent, and I cannot imagine how they could have been done in another better way.  With the melancholy of Useless, incredible keyboard loops and space like sound effects on Towards Distant, fast, up beat and head banging Snow Blind  and the sad sad Sweet Bloom of the Night, make this album a must have.

Magenta Skycode was released in 1996 and like all other great music albums, it is an album that never grew old and will always sound good, even after 13 years.  If you are looking for a copy of Magenta Skycode, look no further since Eibon Records released a remastered version of this album.  Eibon’s release includes also an additional CD (2 cd pack) which includes some rare tracks, studio-outtakes and other goodies we fans love.  Click here to check it out.
