The FRESH AIRE series is divided into two parts. The first four albums are explorations of the seasons of the year, while albums five through eight examine human curiosities and obsessions, whether it be the quest for the moon (FRESH AIRE 5) or the concept of infinity (FRESH AIRE 8).
As conceived and composed by Mannheim's Chip Davis, FRESH AIRE 7 may be the most mathematically involved album in the series, examining in full algorithmic detail the power of the number seven. Rainbows, astrology, alchemy, and spiritual power--all are based heavily on the power of seven, and all receive full consideration here.
Tracks 6 through 12 are meditations upon each of the seven chakras, or energy centers of the body, which deal with various needs, functions, and desires, such as sex, love, and survival. Track seven, dealing with the Svadhisthana chakra, or the center of sexual functions, is tense, suggesting pursuit, while track nine's soothing keyboards suggest the unconditional love arising from the fourth chakra.
