CD ReviewsA Great CD of His Best Work D. Busch | 11/18/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "If Philip Aaberg was a boxer he would take out George Winston in the first round, Lanz in two, and Brickman wouldn't even get in the ring. Simply the best there is. This cd draws mostly from his two best cds, Upright and High Plains. If you are new to Phil's music you will be thrilled at his playing. If you are an old fan you will be in awe at how much better the old songs are now. Like a fine wine they have aged to perfection as Phil has added more subtlety to them. If you can only have one Aaberg cd, this is the one. Absolutely, hands down, no questions asked." Live From Montana D. Busch | Alaska is home | 08/08/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been listening to Mr. Aaberg since the Windham Hill craze of the 80s. If you have found other "so-called" new age modern instrumental music flat, repetitive, and droning please go ahead and listen to this music. I have owned and loaned and lost several copies of "High Plains" but this time when I replaced it, I went for the live version from Chester, Montana. I am a fan of George Winston, but find this music more inspired. Modern versions of variations on a theme and art imitating life versions of a the local train blowing through make this very memorable. I also enjoyed the comments Mr. Aaberg reads from his neighbors views of life in Chester. It is always interesting to put a voice to an instrumentalist. If you've not heard of Philip Aaberg, buy "High Plains" first and then order this CD as an encore."
