The legendary first pressing of Shadowfax is that I present today. This became legendary because Shadowfax had a silence of about 7 years! When Windham Hill welcomed them reissued this album, but Windham Hill style: new artwork, changes in the original recording … what a mistake! The original cover is a art piece.
I have the reissue on CD, when you hear the LP and to compare the songs altered of the CD (‘Petite Aubade’, ‘Watercourse Way’ and ‘Song for my brother’), will be eliminated instrumentation (this edition brings passages with Mellotron and harpsichord). ‘Watercourse Way’ totally new … by God!
Returning to this album, I find it a masterpiece. There is no denying the influence of different groups that cultivate the Jazz-Rock, Jazz-Fusion and some classical music. Influences like ‘Mahavishnu Orchestra’, ‘Return to Forever’ and ‘Oregon’.
I think it’s an album especially for fans of Shadowfax (and not both), in its most progressive and experimental.
I give it 6 stars of 5.Fran Solo, MMXII
