Impossible Christmas
Gordon Green (electronics)
This fascinating disc contains 30 of the most popular carols in "impossible" arrangements. Gordon Green writes: "Every year at Christmas time I'm struck by the predictability of most of the Christmas music that crowds the record stores and airwaves. In this collection, I show the Christmas classics in a different light. I take a fresh look at some of the best melodies in circulation." The "fresh look" Green is talking about uses just synthesizers to create the music and catchy and appealing it is.

Reviews

"On the other hand, Gordon Green's Impossible Christmas is completely and utterly screwy. How else to describe an album that contains songs called "We Wish You A Delirious Christmas"and "The Dance of the Heavy Metal Fairies?"By the time you get to "Hark! The Herald Angels Swing"you're hooked, there's no turning back. You just want to lay back and hang with "Cool King Wenceslas,"and start dancing to "Get Down All Ye Faithful.""
