Aria 2: New Horizon by Paul Schwartz
Standout track:
Personal Preference: 3 of 5
Blink: neo-classical
Classical music with a modern edge, combined with vocals. It would be excellent music for a waiting room as it is not offensive in any way, and much better than smooth jazz. Nothing on the album was exciting, but that is probably not the point. The melodic flows of vocals with violin and piano is a bit like floating through a track where you do not know when it is going to end.

Are You Passionate? by Neil Young
Are You Passionate? by Neil Young
Standout track:
Personal Preference: 2 of 5
Blink: soul rock
This is one of those albums that was difficult for me to finish. The album feels rushed, where everything sounds about the same. The tracks are also assembled in an odd why where the "weight" of different sections seems to have markedly different volumes as if Neil is fighting to yell over a keyboard. Some of the musical sections would be quite good if you removed Neil.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monae

Standout track: Say You'll Go
Personal Preference: 5 of 5
Blink: R&B rock
An exceptional album with very high production quality. Janelle Monae has an amazing voice that is accented by pieces that would be substantial without her: both the musical production and the vocals are top notch.

The problem with compilations is that the style is all over the place. One of the nicer points of the compilation is that one is introduced to various styles of Arabic music.

Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC
Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC
Standout track:
Personal Preference: 3 of 5
Blink: rock
It feels a lot like an album that would have been made by Paul McCartney with nice acoustics. The song "I'd like that" has the feel of something off of Sgt. Pepper's. I'm sure that XTC is English. The tracks are assembled of acoustic guitars with accompaniment of piano, keyboard etc. No single track jumped out at me, but if you are a Beatles fan, I think you'd like this.

Standout track: Yippyo-Ay
Personal Preference: 5 of 5
Blink: Electronica
Music needs to match your mood. I happened to be listening to this while doing layout for my next IC, and I found it to be a nice accompaniment. The tracks are simple electronica but enjoyable with nice overlays of audio and effects.
