Cyan is an early project of Rob Reed, originating during his school years and representing his first steps into progressive rock. The group initially released three albums under the Cyan name, laying the groundwork for Reed’s later achievements with projects such as Magenta. Decades later, Reed revisited the material, choosing to re‑record and reinterpret the original compositions with a new line‑up. For this updated version of Cyan, he brought in guitarist Luke Machin, vocalist Peter Jones, and bassist Dan Nelson, creating a refreshed ensemble that approached the level of a modern progressive‑rock supergroup. The first reimagined release, For King and Country (2021), marked a strong beginning for the renewed project. The updated line‑up elevated the performances, while Reed re‑arranged the material to reflect the musical maturity gained over the intervening years. The follow‑up album continued this approach, offering a cohesive and engaging reinterpretation of Reed’s early work, supported by polished production and confident musicianship. The album opens with “Broken Man,” a track that immediately highlights Peter Jones’s expressive vocal delivery. His recurring line “Feel the snow, feel the rain” showcases the emotional clarity he brings to the music. The recording also features vocalist Angharad Brinn, whose contributions provide a complementary contrast to Jones’s voice.
