Some of Von Baron's songs really reminds me of modern video game music ("Pangaea" and "See Beyond" would really make a great soundtrack to Final Fantasy) and some songs like "A New World" could work as a film's introduction. Basically, I think his music really lends itself well in other medium other than radio.
My favorite is actually "Fiesta Del Mundo" (Celebration of the World) which starts off with a "wicka wicka" DJ style, which is kind of unconventional and different for a New Age CD. It also uses a lot of instruments that you would normally see in a Jazz setting at work in this song, including trumpets and saxophone.
Maybe I'm reading too much into the title of his album, Pangaea, which refers to Alfred Wegener's theory of at one point in time when all the continents were connected to each other, the songs on this album is kind of a mixture of several different world music influences such as Caribbean, Spanish, Brazil, and Europe.
You can catch Von Baron with the Honolulu Jazz Quartet (he plays drums in the band) at the Lush Life Music Festival in Honolulu on October 27th.
UPDATE: You can also purchase his CD via amazon.com
