For those who have to work on x-mas eve ...this cd compilation will set your head nodding and make the time go faster while you work. Heck everybody can listen to x-mas classics. If you need something with with a bit of an edge ...get this cd. The samples don't do it justice ...have a happy electro/chill/dance x-mas!

I love dance music, techno music, remixed music, and Christmas music, but I cannot love this album. Everytime I find a "remixed christmas" cd, I usually get it, just because I'm hoping someday there will be one that actually transforms traditional holiday songs into club anthems. Unforntuanately, all of them have the same trend. They sound like 4th graders having fun with a computer. This one, as foul as it is, is actually better than most, however.

There Are a few songs that aren't bad, Hark The Harold Angels Sing isn't exactly regrooved, but it's nicely mixed. White Christmas has good usage of vocals and beats. The rest however . . . well, Carol of the Bells, for instance, sounds like someone banging pots and pans to the music of a very, VERY slow paced funeral march. It is so bad. There are Dj scribble sounds, a demoic voice that whispers "Christmas", whoosey moans like a smurf taking a crap. It's horrid. If you don't believe me, listen to the samples, they won't lie to you.

This CD is for people who love holiday music but are tired of it always being slow, quiet and reverent. Nothing wrong with the classics, but sometimes a party needs a little more than Barbra singing Ave Maria. Fun takes on old familiars make this CD a good addition to the Christmas shelf in your CD cabinet...and if you're reading this review, I know you have a shelf devoted to holiday music.
