Magic Pie
 Emerging
from a series of conversations, what was to become MAGIC PIE
started to take shape some three years ago. The members came
from a wide variety of musical backgrounds, each one previously
playing in several bands and projects of different genres.
The band first started out playing cover songs along with a
couple of original songs. After fooling around with the covers
for a while, suggestions were made to cut out the covers and
completely go for original songs. This proved to be a major
turning point, and really set the band into work mode with
intentions to create a “progressive” sound texture in the spirit
of the `70´s, and to blend musical tendencies from both back
then and from today’s “progressive” scene.
MAGIC PIE
feel fortunate with what could be perfect timing for
releasing progressive rock, which at the moment seems to be
heading for a full worldwide renaissance.
The
common factor as the link between all members is the mutual love
for listening to bands and artists that have been the mainstream
rock trend in both the `80´s & `90´s, and of course the fact
that the great musical “revolution” of the `70´s is firmly
seated within all as no less than a fantastic source of
inspiration.
PIE
never set out to make songs sounding like this and that, and
was never interested in trying to copy someone else’s style and
signature. Instead they have tried to extract the different
musical/instrumental influences buried inside each member.
The
newly released album—Motions of Desire—mirrors a wide variety of
styles that make up pieces of the PIE, and stands as the band’s
true musical Motions Of Desire.
