Magellan

Musical Group

Magellan is a progressive project/band formed by Californian brothers Trent and Wayne Gardner. Trent is credited in reviews as composer, singer and keyboardist (also trombone); Wayne is described primarily as guitarist and occasional bassist. The group is noted for keyboard‑centric, eclectic progressive albums from the 1990s.

Early releases featured prominent keyboard work and programmed drums; later recordings used live drummers. The debut Hour Of Restoration is described in reviews as from 1991. Reviews credit Trent Gardner as main composer and vocalist.

Magellan is presented in these reviews as a Californian duo of Gardner brothers, led by Trent Gardner's keyboard-driven compositions and distinctive voice. Reviews praise their creativity, keyboard work and eclecticism while noting production choices (electronic drums) and limited mainstream success. Recommended mainly for progressive/keyboard‑focused listeners.

For:Fans of progressive rock/metal, keyboardists and listeners who enjoy eclectic, concept-driven albums.
