Every reviewer of this disc seems very quick to point out that it won a Grammy. I find that strange, because most everyone knows that a Grammy is rarely an indication of the quality of music, and is instead an indication of the number of sales. And we should all know that just because the public loves it doesn't mean that the music is all that spectacular. Such as it is, this is an album that has a lot of thought put into the backstory of each track. The research is interesting and humorous. I can't help but think that more emphasis should've been made on the music. Musically, none of the organic sounding Classical Rock of the first four Fresh Aire albums is present. Rather it continues in the same vein as Fresh Aire 5 and 6. Except for the orchestra sounds strangely muted; so perfect as if it was played through a midi player. In fact I get that sense over the entire album. It sounds as if it was created on a computer instead of in a recording studio. Which would be an accurate pronouncement; this is Chip and his Toys gone overboard. The result is some interesting themes (and more forgettable ones) that have the same sound to them despite changes in the instrumental arrangements. And the songs don't have the impressive hooks, simplicite beauty or rolling gait that his early work had. It all sounds conservative; as if the music itself is 40 something... Which is really what it is. Even as a big fan, I began to notice towards the end of the decade the magic began to disappear. The music has declined, even if the thought behind it has gotten better. But if you're like me, you'd much rather buy a CD for its music than its liner notes.
