1. La Voix / 2. Theme Baroque / 3. Primavera / 4. Bossa Italienne / 5. Intime / 6. La Colline de l'Amour / 7. Jeune Flirt / 8. Eau Bleue / 9. Sur l'eau / 10. Cris en vacances / 11. Extase / 12. Bien Être / 13. Agriculture / 14. Jeunesse

Best vintage cheesy-easy-listening-with-mademoiselle-vocals that you can imagine listening to. This is one case of muzak that is actually beautiful, even without the help of an avant-garde sensibility (like in the case of Stereolab).

1. Pacific Ocean Park / 2. King of Inertia / 3. I Just Can't Be Without You Again / 4. I Heard You Whisper / 5. Some Sweetness / 6. Wind Painting

In between Another Orange World and Silver Lining Underwater/Dream Window eras, this little EP is pretty well done and is among Rao's best attempts at harkening to the gems of space age pop and such (don't you just love how he wrote on the cover "Jim Rao and his Orange Cake Mix Orchestra"?!). Plus, on the last few tracks, he's flirting again with Frippertronics...
