Product Description Explore 8 topics of infinity and experience the art of DVD with multi-platinum selling artist Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller. Fresh Aire 8 is a unique double-sided disc--one side is DVD Video with 5.1 surround sound audio in Dolby Digital and DTS, and the other side of the disc features the new high-resolution 24 bit/96 kilohertz DVD-Audio format. All the music was composed and created by Chip Davis in 5.1 surround sound. Included in the "double hub" package is a free audio CD of Fresh Aire 8 for the car or home. Visually stunning graphics created for this project depict each topic of infinity: Infinity in Philosophy (Greek Thinkers suite) Infinity in Cosmology (The Big Bang) The Infinite Thinker (Leonardo da Vinci) Infinity in Mathematics (Fractals) Infinity in Art (Waterfall, based on Escher's painting) Infinity in the Wedding Band (The Circle of Love) Infinity in Music (The Steamroller) Infinity in Egyptian Afterlife (The Heart & the Feather) Fresh Aire 8 DVD contains over 4 hours of content in five main layers: 1. Art: On the DVD video side, this layer presents the 8 topics of infinity on Fresh Aire 8, with extraordinary graphic images. 2. Behind the scenes: Many of the music movies in Fresh Aire 8 are live-action scenes, and this layer provides a glimpse of the action behind the cameras. 3. Professor's notes: While researching the topics for Fresh Aire 8, composer and creator Chip Davis consulted with many leading experts on the pure disciplines of each topic of infinity, and this layer provides unique insight into these disciplines. 4. Chip's Creative: Chip Davis discusses on camera his approach to creating the art of Fresh Aire 8. 5. Interactive: With a Web-enabled computer, this layer allows the consumer to play a game to discover the 9th "hidden" topic of Fresh Aire 8 and win some fabulous prizes, including trips to NASA, Kennedy Space Center, and the Jet Propulsion Lab. Amazon.com Followers of Mannheim Steamroller's 28-year-old Fresh Aire series will welcome this ambitious program of mesmerizing music and video. Series creator Chip Davis spared no expense in creating this final Fresh Aire opus, supporting Mannheim's electronic soundscapes with the London Symphony and compelling visual counterparts, each exploring the central theme of Infinity. Musically, this is one of Mannheim's least inventive efforts, but noteworthy exceptions (like "Fractals") come to life in exquisitely discrete 5.1-channel sound. While the visuals range from cheesy re-creations of Plato's ancient symposia to the hypnotic progression of mathematically generated fractal imagery, the DVD's behind-the-scenes featurettes include enlightening "professor's notes" from scholarly experts, lending the entire enterprise an all-ages air of exploratory spirit. Other featurettes reveal Davis's all-encompassing input, and you can't help but admire the synthesis of art, music, and education that Davis has created. There's magic here, if you're receptive to the enduring Fresh Aire vibe. --Jeff Shannon
