Not great music, in my view....

[TerraEpon]

Is most of what is talked about on this forum 'great'? I have the CD and it's for sure enjoyable. Maybe a bit derivative, perhaps, but tuneful and colorful.

[Alan Howe]

You're right, of course. I should have said something like 'mediocre, generic, anonymous.' But that's only my view...

[dhibbard]

I have the CD... it reminds me of movie soundtrack music...

[Alan Howe]

Quite. Nothing distinctive about it at all.
