See into the eye of the magnetic storm....
13. Oktober 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
Creating a sucessor to VIEWS is a hard enough concept, but Roger Dean has produced another master document of his work. Following along the same path as his first book, again we get the album size/shape presentation and tons of full color reproductins of Dean's sketches and renderings. This book was the first whereby I truly grasped Dean's illustrations as architechtural renderings, as lots of the projects covered in this volume are 3D projects worked on with his brother Martyn: built YES stages, modelling retreat pods and designing home and buildings. Imagine a YES album cover as a dwelling, and grab this book to show you how and why it is possible. Stunning follow-up, fantastic production values not seen often in modern paperbacks.

...a generous 4 stars... but still, quite nice
23. Juni 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
With this, the last book in the series of books covering the work of visualist, artist and illustrator Roger Dean, I can only conclude that as nice as these volumes are the only one that deserves a 5 star rating is the last and latest volume, Dragon's Dream.
Magnetic Storm is a little better than the Views in that Roger's ideas are more fully realized and his art is considerably improved. This latest edition of MS is quite good but the reproductions, due to their smaller format, are lacking just a little. The color reproduction is darker, more intensified than the previous edition's reproductions. Some of the art falls flat because of decisions made, like reproducing pencil work darker, adding higher contrast that actually looses some of that line work while it builds up the darker lines, sometimes muddying them. Also, the choice to reproduce those drawings on white paper instead of the previous edition's off white and cream colored paper makes the drawings more stark and and less appealing to the eye.
Where I thought I would replace my old editions with the new ones, well, I think I'll have to put that off for a while. It is unlikely that these wonderful books will be reprinted again so, for now, I'll be hanging on to both editions. The saving aspect of all these editions are the nice, sturdy hardcover treatment, making these books better able to withstand a lot of use and therefore have less shelfwear than the previous editions.
Roger Dean's work is a treasure and holds up well over the years. Even with the mature retouching of old work it's easy to appreciate the original versions.
Anyone fascinated by art and design and it's place in popular entertainment should make room for these volumes on their bookshelves while they can. These books show an exotic approach to popular and fine art that is rarely mastered with such elaborate and unique vision as Roger Dean has accomplished.

More From Roger and Martyn; Needs a Reprint!
23. Oktober 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
The Dean brothers are 2 of the most innovative artists of the 20th century. Roger has designed many of Yes and Asia's album covers (Drama, Yesshows, Asia, and Alpha are all featured in this book!), designed tour posters and booklets for other major rock bands and contributed on the Album Cover Album books. His brother Martyn has designed many of Yes' stage sets (Topographic Oceans, Drama, and Relayer) and has acted as Yes' photographer both for album shots and on tour. Together and seperately, Roger and Martyn have also worked on animation, video games, architecture, and an invention of Martyn's which is called a retreat pod (sort of like a futuristic sleeping bag with the options of an entertainment center!). I'd like to see this gem back in print and see a 3rd volume where Roger and Martyn have left off since this was published.
