Hey I only discovered these folks a couple years ago, though apparently they've been around for a while.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra does awesome Christmas music! Don't let the word 'orchestra' fool you, this is nothing that would have ever been heard coming out of your grandmother's gramaphone! (not that I don't also enjoy the more classical stuff)
I have "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" and "The Christmas Attic". Both CD's tell a story with the music, interspersed with some 'traditional' carols presented in a not-so-traditional fashion. Sounds kinda' like a Christmas rock-opera....
Merry Christmas !!

Oh no... Another label...
I just got my head around "transgendered", and transsexual, now we have Trans-Siberian. :icon_evil_laugh: :icon_evil_laugh: :icon_evil_laugh:
Seriously though, I can't say that I've ever heard of them, I'll have to check them out. You can never have enough Christmas music.
Ya think,

QuoteI just got my head around "transgendered", and transsexual, now we have Trans-Siberian.oh well, ya' know, thought I'd stick with the theme... ;D
I get really obsessive with my music, so for the past week or so, TSO is all I have been listening to...

Very interesting. Great sound.
The video I watched kind of reminds me of my first Electric Light Orchestra concert.
If you like Acustisc Guitar, I must plug my friend Michael Kelsey. www.michaelkelsey.com
What he can do on a guitar must be seen and heard.
A must watch if you play guitar
Getting closer to Christmas better start my shopping
Merry Christmas

Hmm, Trans-Siberian. Does that mean that they are defecting-to or defecting-from Siberia?
Anyway, if any of you have seen or heard the video on the internet about the house with the amazing Christmas light display; the one that the local officials told to cease indefinitely... that music was the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
