Editorial Reviews

"What will become of Christmas?" That is the question posed by film/TV composer, Eban Schletter, on his latest concept album, Eban Schletter's Cosmic Christmas. In this yuletide odyssey, veterans of his acclaimed Witching Hour project perform Christmas classics and original songs. A storyline worthy of The Twilight Zone tells of a drifting military satellite, which encounters a mysterious series of signals, forcing the on-board computer to question all it was created to do. The odd combination of Theremin and vibes interpreting timeless melodies serves as the musical spine of Eban Schletter's Cosmic Christmas, but from there, a variety of styles and sounds coalesce into a greater whole. Layers of piano drift like stardust though the Vince Guaraldi classic "Christmas Time Is Here"; pulsing rhythms jettison a heroic "We Three Kings"; and "Silent Night" rises from a swirl of music boxes and keyboard oscillations. Joyous harmonies adorn original songs like "Send Christmas Into The Universe". Grant-Lee Phillips turns in a stellar vocal in "What Will Become Of Christmas?" In all, it is a sonic feast and a fun, while poetic, meditation on what Christmas means in light of the direction our world seems to be heading.

This review is from: Eban Schletter's Cosmic Christmas (Audio CD)
Eban Schletter's first Christmas album is a concept album. The Christmas Spirit is launched into space, where it is intercepted by a military satellite. The computers on the satellite are confused about what The Christmas Spirit is, but eventually learn to embrace it. The bits with the computers only take up a portion of the album, though. Most of the album features music; there are three quirky original songs (with lyrics) by Schletter and there are instrumental versions of six familiar holiday songs. The instrumentals are performed in a "spacy" style, usually played on theremin or synthesizer. This is a unique, fun Christmas album.
