| Even less known
to this reviewers ear are "Do
You Hear What I Hear?", "Chesnuts
Roasting On An Open Fire" and "Baby
It's Cold Outside" (despite the
Sil Vision and Oliver Sparkelino singing). Actually
the same also goes for "Noël
Dans Le Roxbury" and "Chipmunks
Christmas", with the first being
at the beginning an adaptation of the Run-D.M.C.
"Christmas in Hollies" track though, complete
with Jam Master Jay R.I.P. shout. Katherine Aungier
is doing some French talking and we are nodding
while not understanding. The latter, meaning "Chipmunks
Christmas", is again a song without
samples, making this another very smoothed out electronic
and kinda jazzy tune, that might as well be a new
Christmas standard as not. |
| Nevertheless, this Jeep Jack twist
to the traditional Christmas tunes is interesting
to say the least. The funky people will play it
next year, to their parents dismay. But it's way
better than to listen to your sister crank out the
same old songs with the flute she picks up once
a year to your ears disgust. And that doesn't mean
that her playing sounds bad, but that not wanting
her to play is as much a Christmas tradition, as
it is that she's ignoring your pleading. And with
the Record Company people opening up another tradition
for Villa Magica, we say ho ho ho, and maybe we
listen to one or two songs even before December
2003. |
