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!

Christmas Music: Klasch Records 2005-2008



Klasch Records sadly informs us that they will not release a new Christmas record this year. There just wasn't enough time and energy. (Edit: Sant-O-Nine!) However they send our readers their best wishes for the Holidays and kindly lets us repost Santaism (2008), Santaphonic (2007), Santology (2006), Santalicious (2005).

Click the individual images to get to the music and to unpack you type the name of this blog (without space).

Get it while you can and happy listening!
