Christmas: Here We Go Again...

We do not strive for political correctness nor do we strive for the opposite. Just the same we would like to stress that we do not condone physical or mental abuse. We believe that this image shows a consenting couple celebrating the arrival of Christmas in their own special way.


Here at Martin Klasch Productions we finally have accepted that it is once again that time of year. We have had one sip of glögg and we have listened to a couple of Christmas songs. Therefore we have also, as tradition dictates, added some Christmas links in the sidebar. Perhaps the production team will have time to put together a equally traditional Christmas music compilation later on. We will try. Perhaps we'll repost the compilations from Christmases past too. Until then please use the links in the sidebar for more Christmas.

Christmas music: Reposting Santology from '06

Last year I had to ask myself how to follow such a well put-together and well received Christmas music mix as Santalicious was. Of course I didn't have the recipe for that but I still wanted to make one and I think it turned out fine.

The review in A Christmas Yuleblog said: "They are mixing it up nicely, balancing the old and the new, the instrumentals and the vocals."

Christmas music: Reposting Santalicious from '05

A year passes so quickly. Have you noticed? Well, in 2005, as soon as I was able to pick up the first sounds of jingling bells, I knew I had to get started with the Christmas mix if there were to be any. Another thing was clear to me - I wanted that year's mix to be more personal than the year before. So I dove (dived) deeper into the sea which they call Christmas music. The result I came up with was simply Santalicious (72,8 MB).

Sorry. No longer available.

In its review A Christmas Yule Blog calls it "an awsome Christmas CD". Hm, maybe it is. I hope you will enjoy it.

Christmas music: Reposting Santafobic from '04

Have you had enough of Christmas already? No? Can I interest you in some more Christmas music? Yes?

Martin Klasch's Christmas mix CD Santafobic from 2004 is once again available (69,8 MB). The password is none other than martinklasch.

Alternative download link (EasyShare).

This was my first attempt on a Christmas music mix and personally I think it's a very nice one. However...no I won't say any more. Try it or if you want you can read a review of it in the Christmas music expert blog A Christmas Yuleblog.

I will of course quickly follow up this repost with Santalicious '05, Santology '06 and Xxxxxxxxxxx '07.

Merry Christmas!

Music: The Martin Klasch Santa Audio vol 3

Hi Ho! Today it's time for Martin Klasch's Christmas gift to you. It is this year's Christmas music mix - Santology. You could say it's similar to a great dopp i grytan on the Christmas smorgasboard. Enjoy!

Music: The Martin Klasch Santa Audio vol 2

Hi all! Are you ready to consume some more Christmas music? It is time for Santalicious from last year. It's a bit like grisfötter, only it tastes good.

Music: The Martin Klasch Santa Audio vol 1

Hi kids! I hope you are into Christmas music 'cause today we are serving Santafobic from 2004 - a nice sorgasboard (smörgåsbord) of mostly anglo-saxon Christmas songs.

Tomorrow it is time for Santalicious from last year. This compilation is a little bit more odd but still very enjoyable - like a nice Swedish sillsallad. On Friday you'll be able to download the new volume: Santology.

Christmas: Probably the best Yule music ever

I realize "The best..." are strong words, but listen to The Soulful Strings - The Magic of Christmas, and tell me if I'm wrong? Do you have a better candidate?

UPDATE: Sorry, no longer available...

(Thanks to Basic Hip Digital Oddio for posting the music stream! It's possible to get it in better quality here; but not for free.)
