Shadowfax. Nice name for a progressive rock band. At least that's how they started off. Named after Gandalf's a horse in Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings. They are often classified as new age, but their first album really wasn't, it was rather quite like a more rocking version of Oregon and had a mixture of hard and soft songs. And really their latter albums weren't completely although they lost some of their harder edge and devoted themselves to more mellow fair.

Shadowfax - The Dreams Of Children (1984). As with the band's two previous releases, "Shadowfax" and "Shadowdance," "The Dreams of Children" is built around compositions by saxophonist/producer Chuck Greenberg and guitarist G.E. Stinson. Stinson's "Word From the Village" is immediately one of the band's best songs. Guest vocalist Morris Dollison lends the song an added dimension with his syncopated chanting, while Stuart Nevitt keeps beat on a variety of percussion instruments (and objects not normally thought of as instruments!). The song plays like a Peace Corps theme, with all its different influences and rhythms. Bassist Phil Maggini's "Shaman Song" is the most unusual here. Jamil Szmadzinski plays the melody line on electric violin, evoking comparisons to Jean Luc Ponty. And Szmadzinski then steps back and plays rhythm on his violin - plucking out a bass line - while Stinson takes a few measure of lead on guitar.
Shadowfax has again shown that they are still exploring, still looking for new sounds. Those who share that quest are unlikely to be disappointed.

Shadowfax - The Odd Get Even (1990). By the release of this album, Shadowfax had expanded into a sextet with a strong reliance on drum programming and synthesizers. The sound was far more powerful and dramatic, and worth hearing for that, although early listeners had some adjusting to do.
