Genius.......2005-08-26

Chuck Greenberg was one of the true geniuses of modern new age/jazz. A wonderful melodist, a more than competent instrumentalist, a far better than average composer and a great lead musician or sidekick. This CD shows him at his best, although there were some unbelievable duets with Chuck and Will Ackerman, too. The duets here are with Alex DeGrassi, who ain't too bad a guitarist himself. As usual, Chuck is brilliant, melodic and wonderful. Do yourself a HUGE favor and buy this CD.

Both less -- and more! -- than Shadowfax.......2003-03-26

Recorded at a time when Shadowfax faced a very uncertain future, this album by group leader Chuck Greenberg showed a side of the man's music that hadn't quite shown up on the most recent band releases. The other group members were becoming increasingly involved in the songwriting, so Chuck had accumulated quite a backlog of material.

On his own album ,we are missing some sides of the band's multi-faceted musical personality. The emphasis on various ethnic percussion mixtures, or the gentle acoustic or dynamic electric guitar parts don't really show up. Chuck pretty much sticks to beautiful, gentle pieces based on keyboards, over which he solos distintively with his trademark wind instruments, sax and lyricon.

These pieces, though, are highly melodic and engaging, showing the full range of Chuck's writing, performing and produicing skills. The one departure is the amusing "Two Headed Alarm Clock", with a very funky electric guitar rhythm and lyricon all over the place. Very fun!

If you think music labeled "New Age" is dull background music, then this album will change your mind. It's getting harder to find, so get it and open up to the great music of Chuck Greenberg. Then, check out his work with Shadowfax.

Very typical of Chuck Greenberg, meaning wonderful.......2002-06-12

This is Chuck Greenberg's first, and only, album under his own name, and it is well worth having. Mr. Greenberg has contributed to many albums by other fine musicians, as well as to the great group "Shadowfax", but I have not heard him play any better than he does on this album. Just the track "No Long Goodbyes" is worth many times the price of the disk. Please, if you like music, buy this CD.

Close your eye's and listen..................2000-11-25

The CD "From A Blue Planet", by Chuck Greenberg, is a must for everyone who enjoys Instrumental Music. Textures of intertwined sounds and movements, best describes this wonderful experience. Violin, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Drums, all blending together to evoke emotions from the listener.

My only regret is that I am unable to find anything else by Mr. Greenberg. So scoop it up, share it with friends, you will not be disappointed.

Timeless:.......2000-04-12

That's what we call all of the late Chuck's work. What makes it so? The failure to duplicate. New Age Music has evolved into a generic blend, but there has only been One Chuck Greenberg and this album is his first and only solo endeavor. Originally released in 1991, many consider it to be his finest ever. My favorite track is "Two-Headed Alarm Clock," named after the Greenberg twins by Alex De Grassi, who also adds some of his finest guitar work on tracks like "The Secret of Time." Audiophiles who've come to expect the finest in sound quality from Chuck and Shadowfax will not be disappointed. Nine years later, this impeccably recorded album remains superior to most music released today.
