I have the Steeleye Span 7" of Gaudete c/w The holly and the ivy, which makes for a folk... folk... FOLK... FOLKING great 10 minutes or so every Xmas.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I don't think its in the flat, I think its back in London. I just want to make the point that it was given to me by someone who worked for Sony, no money was exchanged for the item in question.

 

[krystal]

yeah. Oh yeah. I heard you had it on pre-order.

'A Charlie Brown Christmas' by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

I just scored a copy of this

it's amazingly briliant, the kids choir on 'Christmas Time Is Here' just put the biggest smile on my face

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I got "A Glasgow Wassail" - a comp of glasgow musicians doing christmas songs and its deadly. theres a few richard youngs ones, alistair corsbie doing "Frosty the snowman", heather leigh murray's track is kinda shite - sounds like her support set for thurston moore. some other cool stuff too.

i always think of leonard cohen's greatest hits as a christmas album

Release Notes:
--------
In a world full of mysterious and timely entities, no one could be more exotic or more relevant. Imagene Peise is believed to have lived for a short time in Tikrit, Iraq. Her exact birthday is unknown. She is rumored to be just 18 at the time of this recording. Her extraordinary talent as a master jazz pianist at such a young age should, alone, put her in the realm of the stellar.

Available here for the first time Ms. Peise's Atlas Eets Christmas is a strange and beautiful experience. Little is known of her musical and recording life. Most of what is known is shrouded in clouds of legend and smoke of myth. But what is clear is her expressive playing and her unique arrangements.

The Atlas Eets Christmas collection is said to be a rehearsal for a doomed or poorly recorded session. But what an inspired ÒdoomedÓ session it turned out to be. The forgotten facts of the trio that accompanies her will perhaps be invisible to us forever. But, as we hear, Imagene is not the only musical star shining through. Ominog Bangh the synthesizer virtuoso (playing the outmoted The Laughing/Crying Glider Synthesizer) and Indian classical musician Shineyu Bhupal are obvious, added other-worldly treats.

Atlas Eets Christmas stands as a missed opportunity. It's uncanny coincidence of a Middle Eastern talent embracing such American themes (jazz piano, Silver Bells and Winter Wonderland) as we know now, are glimpses of a future that was never to be. With her powerful message of kindness and peace we can only imagine if Ms. Peise had become an international star her influence could have, in some other space and time, prevented the current apocalyptic environment.

We can not know if her story is truly triumphant or sad. She is rumored to have committed suicide in 1978. But if she really is gone from this world in the physical sense then she is gloriously hovering above us in the metaphysical dimension as a source of sublime pleasure and reassurance anytime we need her. By playing this CD she is reanimated and we are once again comforted by her loving vision.
