This time around, Chad's friend, Scott, will be giving us some music to listen to. Mer De Noms was geared towards Dennis, as he is a new fan of Maynard. The Great Cold Distance was geared towards Chad, because they are lesser known and have a style that Chad just may really enjoy. Tune in to hear our thoughts

    Odesza's "The Last Goodbye" and Steven Wilson's " The Harmony Codex"

    Send us a text Welcome back to Magic Power! On this episode, Chad and Dennis will be dipping into a genre that is very different than typical music tastes, which is Electronic music.

Odesza's "The Last Goodbye" however, is full fledged Electronic music that is full of energy.
