'Hexameron' is one of the best symphonic
progressive rock albums I have ever heard... a CD
that won't be leaving my player for weeks and will find its way back for years
to come. It is a "must buy" for any lover of symphonic progressive rock.

'Hexameron' is a must
for all lovers of great progressive rock music... . If you listen to 'Dancing
on the Waters' and 'Marduk' you know what I mean. Just awesome.

This CD is the best, the most
beautiful album I have heard in the past 13 years... The guitar playing of Steve Hackett is sober as well
as sublime and brings back memories of “Voyage of the Acolyte”...

Nick has produced another stunning album; a polished diamond of musical genius
which his fans will lap up... 'Sophia's Song' is a truly glorious track with lush, crisp instrumentation and if you do
not fall instantly in love with Siobhan's voice then you are deaf or dead… or
both! 'Seven Hands Of Time' displays the talents of Mr Hackett senior with
some stunning wailing guitar that evoke the vastness of time and space alongside
Nick's glorious keyboard playing and effects - without doubt one of the best
instrumental performances I have heard for along time. Both Nick and Steve are
in fine form here. - Alan Hewitt, The Waiting Room

I love this album. I think you will
too. As will any progressive rock fan, that has a taste for great symphonic
prog with a certain Genesis influence... A track with the title 'Marduk'
says it all, great lyrics, and one of the album’s finest songs. - Bjørn
Nørsterud, Scream Magazine. Prog Album of the Month, September 2004

The final track 'The Power of Reason' is a dramatic ending to the album, with a beautiful choir leading to the amazing soprano voice of Clare Brigstocke and John Hackett's flute. It's a track that builds up to a tremendous ending, with, whom else, but Steve Hackett taking on the lead guitar mantle in front of the exciting Magnus keyboard work. It's a neck-tingler... - Martin Hudson, Classic Rock Society Magazine
'Hexameron' is a journey of prog ecstasy... For me, that journey starts in the present day, swiftly jumping back to the late 70's to the time when only a few mainstream prog bands held onto their musical integrity, delighting the faithful who, like now, relish relinquishing themselves to powerful emotional melodies... As I stated at the start of this review, just buy it. This is one stunning album. If you are a Hackett fan, you must also be a Nick Magnus fan.

As an
example of classic symphonic prog, ‘Hexameron’ is in a class of its own... Think
of this as a journey - close your eyes and imagine what it would be like to
start off, at first going through scenery you have not seen before yet which
is somehow familiar, as the travelogue continues through more obvious points
of reference, until, at the very end, the person or thing or place that you
would have crossed deserts, rode oceans and flown skies for, finally appears...
an awe-inspiring climax that will leave you jaw-dropped in amazement.
- Andy Garibaldi, CDS.
