Magic Time is an extensive three-disc compilation. It isn't completely accurate to call it a reissue of The Millennium album Begin, though it does contain the entire album plus all of the single versions of songs from that album. It also isn't accurate to refer to it simply as a Millennium compilation because it contains the entire (previously unreleased) album by The Ballroom, as well as numerous demos for The Ballroom, Sagittarius, and Curt Boettcher. Basically, this three-CD set chronicles Curt Boettcher's progression from The Ballroom to The Millennium, though it doesn't include anything from the Sagittarius album released during this time, or any of his productions for other artists (especially noteworthy is that it doesn't include any of his productions for Lee Mallory, who was later an integral part of The Millennium). Still, though it might be overkill for somebody who is only interested in hearing Begin, it is invaluable for Boettcher fans.
