It's Christmas Time!

by Retro Promenade

Dionysus Virus Awesome Christmas album with a ton of great music and artists! Too many great tracks to pick just one favorite. I’m definitely going to get all the other albums too.

kmxexii A lovely gathering of Christmas-themed nostalgia, outrun, and funk. "Hear the Sounds" immediately jumps out with a huge, sweeping, 6/8 feel. I also adore "Colored Lights", a bittersweet pop rememberance of innocence during holiday travels. I'm floored. "Novaya" is a cool, dark outrun track that cribs the finale from CB's "Meet Matt Stryker". I like how "Jolly Funk" slides back and forth between funk and outrun and "Artic Skies" has a fun percussion track with cool guitar accents. Thanks to all. Favorite track: Colored Lights.

veryvery Easily the best Christmas album of this season. Favorite track: White Nocturne.

Zen Frazier Quite possibly the only Christmas album you need this year, or any year. Favorite track: White Nocturne.

BSH 🏝️🏖️ This compilation is the perfect soundtrack for a Christmas in the 1980's. The different artists managed to get the sounds that make us feel like we're living this special night. "This Christmas Night" by Sam Häggblad sounds like Queen's "Thank God It's Christmas". Favorite track: This Christmas Night.

Dress-2-Kill Thank you James "Tentakill" Abel, Kaleb "KFDDA" Alfadda both for the amazing posters, Mike "Who-Ha" Mendoza for coming up with the idea plus organizing this whole thing, and of course all the artists that made this album as amazing as it is. Great job guys! Favorite track: Santa's Slay Ride.

------------------------------------------
This album is released as pay what you want, and each download comes with a free PDF of the magazine (MSRP $2.00) It's free because it's Christmas, that's why.

Note: The opening and closing tracks are the only tracks placed with regards to an "album." There's an epic intro and there's Auld Lang Syne at the end, leading us into the new year. The rest of the tracks were pretty much in the order that I received them.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
