"I already had a copy of each of the Fresh Aire CDs, from 1 through 8. When I heard about this, I decided that it would be a great buy. American Gramaphone, the record label created for Mannheim Steamroller, stopped production of the original Fresh Aire CDs to re-master them, so I knew that these CDs would sound better. However, I did not know that they were re-mastered in HDCD, which is another bonus.Once again, we have an intense sound that should appeal to anyone. If you're unsure about this, the Mannheim Steamroller "20 Year Celebration" would be a good way to start listening to Mannheim Steamroller. Also be sure to pick up one of the christmas CDs. And check out the concerts. Many of the songs on the Fresh Aire CDs have video scenes that are displayed during the concerts, so the musical experience is enhanced. Although Fresh Aire 8 This also makes a good gift for anyone, including yourself. The wooden box in which the CDs are contained gives the entire set a very nice feel. It takes some work to get into, as the box is shrink-wrapped, and each of the CDs are in their original packaging. The only problem that I found was the UPC label on the bottom of the box. Other than that, there were no noticeable problems.Once again, this is a good purchase for anyone who has the entire Fresh Aire series, or has only listened to some songs by Mannheim Steamroller. It's well worth it."

Oh WOW, you will want this set!

"As an avid collector of Mannheim Steamroller I have enjoyed the "Fresh Aire" collection. Suddenly comes "Fresh Aire 8" the last, but what fidelity, accuracy, fullness, depth. Awesome! I noticed a small symbol on the case: HDCD. This collection is remanstered in HDCD and it is worth it. I have done head to head comparason with the original CDs. Even if you have the originals, you will LOVE this series played on your standard CD player, better yet on HDCD compatable units. AS I said, what fidelity, accuracy, fullness, depth.....Awesome! Worth every penny."

"The beautiful sound of the recorder or piccolo in the morning, with birds chirping. That is the sound you hear throughout the boxed set of Fresh Aire 1-8. This constant mood of relaxation with a kick of rock is a true hit. I urge you to purchase this item. It is worth it.----KWZ"
