Mannheim Steamroller

...has put out 6 albums, called, enterprisingly enough, Fresh Aire I-VI.
V and VI are my favorites, although there is a lot to be said for IV.
They've also put out an album called "Classical Gas" and a collection
of redone Christmas carols.  The Christmas music is GREAT stuff for parties
around that time, as it is unusual, excellently done, and appropriate.  Be
the next cool cat on your block.  They do sound very electronically classical,
to start a phrase.  Very good music to study by.  The Christmas album is
called, I think, "A Mannheim Steamroller Christmas."  The albums all list
Chip Davies as director/producer, I believe.

BTW, has anyone figured out who will be the first to hear "The Sensual World?"
With a release date of Oct. 16, are there some people who'll take advantage
of the dateline to get it soonest?  Perhaps a contest to see you can get the
song titles published in love-hounds first...or the entire lyrics?
(I understand that the smart money is on IED, who must be able to type 100
wpm in order to publish on the net in the volume he does.)

Just a thought,
