"Too Far to Whisper" (10 tracks; 42 min.) brings the perfect mix of the
band jazzy-new age instrumental music. From the opening sounds of the
title track, the music feels laser-sharp, and with memorable hooks left
and right. The slow "What Goes Around" is the only track on here that
features vocals, and it feels a bit out of place, frankly. "China Blue"
brings, not surprisingly, oriental sounds. "Orangutan Gang (Strikes
Back)" is an up-tempo song that brings out the best in the band's
interplay in its rich instruments, and one of my favorite tracks on
here. "Streetnoise" is another urgent track that wants to make you wanna
get up and dance, enjoying Chuck's wood flutes and lyricon, just great.
Truth be told, there is barely a weak track on here, and it's easy to
see why this became Shadowfax's best selling album: it's just enough
mainstream yet it keeps its edge.
Back in the mid and late 80s, I was a HUGE fan of the Windham Hill
label, and bought quite a few of its then-vinyl album releases. I didn't
repurchase them all on CD, but this album was one of them, and I'm glad
I did, looking back after all these years. Back then, there would be
the sporadic Windham Hill label tour, packaging a number of their
artists, and on one of them, I caught Shadowfax in concert, and what a
show they put on, just fantastic. Meanwhile, "Too Far to Whisper"
remains as fresh today as when it was releases 23 years ago (has it
really been that long?). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
