Shadowfax - A Windham Hill retrospective - 1992

COMIENZO AGOSTO CON UN EXPERIMENTO.
A ver si logro postear en éste blog una reseña de CD POR DÍA.Con la particularidad de que tienen que ser RECOPILATORIOS ("Grandes éxitos", "The best of", o por el estilo).
A ver si lo logro.

Comenzamos el desafío con Shadowfax.
Recopilación del sello fundado por William Ackerman, de grabaciones realizadas para el mismo por la agrupación norteamericana.

Shadowfax se formó en 1972 y se disolvió en 1995 tras la muerte de su líder Chuck Greenberg.

Su estilo fusiona folk, electrónica y world music, y suele ser catalogado como "new age" (fundamentalmente en el período con Windham Hill, especialista en el género), aunque en sus comienzos incursionaron en el rock progresivo.

En Uruguay el programa radial "Tiempo de cristal" conducido durante varios años por Verónica Peinado difundía el catálogo de Windham Hill y solía programar frecuentemente las excelentes melodías de Shadowfax.Gracias a dicho programa les conocimos.
