So I'm sure you all know "Christmas Song" is coming out Oct 9, 2007. Just curious, what songs did you vote for to be on this album? Or if you didn't vote,...
... I didn't know about the vote on the album but I would of liked for something new by Chip. ... already ... expected ... happened ... I haven't heard...
The album to rate this month is Fresh Aire IV. Track listing: 1) G Major Toccata 2) Crystal 3) Interlude 7 4) Four Rows of Jacks 5) Red Wine 6) Dancing Flames ...
... Well, the "new" song by Chip is going to be a vocal version of Christmas Lullabye. I'm not sure if there will be another original or not. I don't really...
Hmmm... this is a tough one. There are definitely some classics on Fresh Aire IV, like "Red Wine," "Dancing Flames" "G Major Toccata," and "Four Rows Of...
I'm wondering what everyone else's favorite Steamroller era is? The early years were clearly defined with Chip's mixing of antiquated instruments like lutes...
Hello David, Nice to finally have some discussion of Chip's music in this group. My preference has always been for Chip's early works, although Fresh Aire 7 is...
Hi Marcus, Fresh Aire 7 is definitely the best Fresh Aire album, I agree. It had the perfect blend of orchestral/electronic/choral music. In fact, Fresh Aire...
Hello David, I agree 100%. 7 was the pinnacle of Chip's work. We're not the only ones that think so. The album earned the Grammy for best New Age album in...
I have a bad feeling that his NASA album will include recycled tracks from Fresh Aire V. Am I getting too cynical? Maybe. Hopefully at least some of it will...
Chip has a bad habit of leaving projects unfinished. I would have liked to have seen a second "Dinner" album with the Day Part series. And I suspect we will...
The Call of St. Hubert from Impressions ... Basicly every week we rate a different song. Rating is as follows: 5: Excellent 4: Very Good 3: Merely ok 2: Pretty...
My favorite era was the Fresh Aire 5-7 era. I think Chip was at his best during this era. ... antiquated ... sound ... through ... was ... of ... everything ...

I'll try to remember to check out your MP3s (I'm at work right now, so I can't really start playing music files from my computer.) I suspect "Dinner" was the...
I enjoyed the Day Part series. (Having worked for a short time at a radio station. Day Part refers to those parts of the advertising day such as Morning Drive...
Day Parts was okay, but I guess I just considered it a disappointment because I really wanted new Steamoller albums, and these seemed like cheap substitutes...
I guess I'm a about to review just how rabid a Steamroller fan I am. I've been to three Steamroller concerts and traveled at least 250 miles to attend each. I...
Wow, you really ARE a diehard fan! Well, in a way, I'm just as bad. I saved all of their catalogues going back to about 1993 (it's a shame I lost the ones...
I thought it interesting you brought up the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Another group that has found success using Christmas music as their primary source of...
I'm not sure if you're familiar with TSO's history, but it's kind of interesting, and they do probably owe some of their success to Mannheim. The core group...
I just saw the track listing for the "new" Christmas album, and Chip has done it AGAIN... he is recycling THREE songs from previous Christmas albums! Why,...
Well, I'm not surprised. Plus, Christmas Song was recorded way back for the "red" album, but then not included. So he's resurrected it to use here. I'm going...
I'm not sure if Olivia Newton John recorded her part when they did the skating special (though it would make sense if she did.) In a recent interview (from...
At least its just three songs being recycled. Here lately Chip has been doing albums where its 2 or 3 new songs and the rest being older songs. ... Chip ... ...
