A truly unique band they be. I like them though! Here's a few of my favorite songs from them.

Dancin' in the stars
Saras band
Toota lute


So yeah. Discuss I guess. Don't kill me if this isn't common procedure in this section.

My mom has some of his Christmas cds and they are just great! I enjoy listening to Manheim Steamroller.

I'm listening to midnight on a full moon right now. Sounds just vaguely creepy enough to send chills down my spine and make me REALLY want to somehow use it in a story.

I love Mannheim steamroller. They are wonderful. I absolutely love their Christmas CD, and their other stuff is amazing as well.

Mannheim Steamroller is/was one of my favorite bands. Fresh Aire I, II, III, IV, V, and VI are all great CDs. VII has a few good tracks, but it got into a weird style. VIII is OK too, but all the stuff since then has been weird electronic-driven music.....not the cool "Renaissance Rock n' Roll" that their style was. Same goes for their Christmas music. The first 3 CDs were really good....all the way through, but the fourth one....excluding "Hallelujah" and "Fum Fum Fum" just....I dunno. I think Chip's lost his touch.
I went to a Christmas concert a few years back and, while I enjoyed it, it felt like Chip was some kind of evil wizard taking the gifts the wisemen brought away from Jesus.
BUT ANYWAYS......
I HIGHLY recommend Fresh Aire I-VI to anyone....some of the best music I've ever listened to.....listened to them multiple times daily when I was finishing up highschool.
There's a boxset with all the Fresh Aire CDs in it. Quite expensive, but worth every penny.

I haven't heard their 'newer' stuff. But I do like what I've heard
