Actually, I like the first three better. The Fresh Aire series started out
sounding like Jazz Chamber music and has changed in to Symphonic fluff. My
recommendations: Fresh Aire III as a intro to Mannheim Steamroller, then (if
you like it), follow it up with II, then I. IV has a good pipe organ
tune (an organ, drum duet), but the rest is pretty dull (IMHO). Same goes
for V and VI...

Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
