This is the first of what will probably many review of various music CDs, DVDs, and books. These will come in no particular order, and will focus on no particular topic or genre; they are simply the works that I like. However, my taste in music is mainly split between classical, Christian, folk, and new age. When it comes to DVDs I like true stories and documentaries. And as for books I like theology, history, science, true stories, personal improvement, and those related to my job and hobbies (design, programming, art, writing, etc.).

Music by Tim Janis

I recently discovered an artist whose music I’ve come to enjoy very much: Tim Janis. So far I have purchased two of his albums through iTunes: American Horizons and A Winter’s Eve. His music is very beautiful, and often majestic and soaring. It sounds to me like the kind of music one might experience at an IMAX movie as you swiftly fly over some breathtaking landscape. It’s great music to have playing in the background while you work, or just anytime you want to feel inspired to conquer the world. Despite the grand, classical-inspired sound, there isn’t much melody to some of the songs (in some cases none), so you could probably consider it within the new age genre. I suggest listening to some online samples to see if it appeals to you.
