+ 1/2 stars...Mostly Recycled Steamroller

"The Mannheim Steamroller juggernaut seems to be running out of steam. Instead of a new album of all new material, Chip Davis cobbles together this album of tracks dating all the way back to 1975's Fresh Aire I through 2000's Fresh Aire 8 with a handful of new tracks thrown in for good measure. And the new tracks are not what's best about this album. "Love Theme from 'Romeo & Juliet'" certainly fits the romantic theme and is up to Steamroller standards, but "Love Is Blue" is slowed down to almost a funeral dirge pace. Altogether, this album will certainly set the mood for a romantic evening; but if you're a serious Steamroller fan, there's not that much new here to justify purchase."

What's not to love about Mannheim Steamroller?

"Mannheim Steamroller, the leading light in Christmas cheer, gives a valentine to fans with Romantic Themes, a collection of beautiful, slow-paced instrumentals that explore the primal and spiritual aspects of love. Chip Davis and his music aren't just for December merriment anymore.
