From the Greenhouse
From the Greenhouse is a studio album by the American band Crack the Sky, released in 1989. It saw the return of keyboardist Vince DePaul as well as founding members Rick Witkowski (lead guitar) and drummer Joe D'Amico (relegated to just singing back-up vocals). A concept album about environmental degradation, it originated as a John Palumbo solo album. The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "Crack the Sky only relaxes its borrowing from Pink Floyd long enough to copy a few hooks and harmonies from the Beatles." The Buffalo News called the album a "snappy, sleekly-produced set with its echoes of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and, occasionally, Peter Gabriel." Track listing
