Christmas Music: Sant-O-Nine

Contrary to their earlier predictions the guys over at Klasch Records managed to find some time and energy to make yet another Christmas compilation. This year they call it Sant-O-Nine. All of us at Martin Klasch hope that you'll enjoy the music and wish you a Merry Merry Christmas! God Jul!

Alternative: download SANT-O-NINE 09.rar at zshare. (Password = the name of this blog without space)

PS) Get it before 31/12/2009 Christmas is over for this year!
