| | Jeff Ball Songs Of Winter CD (2003)
All-Time Christmas Favorites music CDs
$18.99 Jeff Ball brings his musical hybrid of new age and Native American styles to the holiday season on Songs of Winter. As ever, Ball, playing the American Indian flute (or rather, many different ones, with the craftsmen credited on each track), takes off from the sound typical of the instrument, leading a new age quartet. Here, they tackle such familiar seasonal standards as "Silent Night" and "Oh Come All Ye Faithful," along with a few originals. Typical of contemporary holiday albums, he has not restricted himself to actual Christmas songs, including the Beatles' "Across the Universe." "It just felt right and seemed to fit with the other seasonal music," he explains in the press materials. He also says that, in playing such tunes, he has had to expand the notes that can be played on the flute, which is not designed for the Western scale. "It took delicate finger work and breath work, playing half-hole and three-quarter-hole notes," he recalls. A ...
| | Red Chord Clients CD (2005)
All-Time Christmas Favorites songs
$9.25 Replace Converge's high-pitched terror screams with guttural, death-metallic vocals, and its varsity guitar acrobatics with equally deft muscular brutality, and you have CLIENTS, the second album by New England's The Red Chord. Playing with the determination of a band that respects hardcore punk, but loves metal, CLIENTS pitted the band against the world, a five-man wrecking crew intent on destroying its audience's reticence to mosh, as well as its hearing. Tracks like ...

| | Golden Age Of American Rock 'N' Roll, Vol. 11 CD (2007)
All-Time Christmas Favorites album
$14.69 The 11th volume of this venerated series is split about half between out-and-out classics from rock & roll's first decade and considerably lesser-known (and usually much lower-charting) items from the same period. The benefit of this approach is that it makes available quite a few tracks that rarely get reissued, or at least rarely anthologized on all-purpose rock & roll oldies collections, while putting in enough familiar staples to avoid being tagged as a rarities collection. The drawback, of course, is that those relatively little-known singles -- all Top 100 Billboard hits to some degree or another, though seldom played on oldies stations today -- simply aren't nearly as good or memorable as the big hits with which they share space on this CD. Collectors might get frustrated by all the big hits that they already have in their collection several times over; more general fans will find the quality of the disc erratic, owing to the presence of all those obscurities. Still, there's no arguing with the first-rate status of many of the big hits here, including ...

| | Soy Un Caballo Les Heures De Raison CD (2008)
All-Time Christmas Favorites songs
$9.55 The name of the group Soy un Caballo (Spanish for "I Am a Horse") might suggest this is a Latin based band, but instead it is a light Belgian-French pop group, as the title of the CD more correctly infers. Wafting lead female and male vocals from Brussels residents Aurélie Muller and Thomas Van Cottom evoke an unforced, peaceful, calmed style, while airy instrumental backdrops further enforce their non-threatening and serene motives for making music. The band is a conglomeration of various bands like Venus, V.O., the High Llamas, and Raymondo, including Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Delphine Bouhy, Cédric Castus, Boris Gronemberger, Sean O'Hagan, Julien Paschal, Kate Stables, Jesse Vernon, and special guest, Charlie Francis of R.E.M. The deer in the album art gives more clues as to the gentleness of this music, as there is nothing upbeat (save the bonus track) and everything sways and sashays with a natural, organic feeling. It is modernized by the use of slight electrified guitars and synthesizer washes, minimalism, in one instance a drum machine, and a Fender Rhodes or Farfisa sounding organ. Opening with a tinkling minimalist waltz, "Sous Les Paupieres," the band expands into spacy vibes and ...
