A Christmas Album to Benefit Amnesty International (Animal World Recordings). Review by Matthew Moyer.

Call me a dork if you must, but I can’t wait to ogle Wayne Coyne’s backyard space ship and get infected with the alien spirit of Christmas. Carl F Gauze considers Christmas on Mars required watching for the 12-sided dice crowd.

Taste of Christmas (Warcon Enterprises). Review by Carl F Gauze.

At this special time of year, let’s not forget the REAL reason for the season… fabulously gaudy displays of Xmas lights! Heather Lorusso sure didn’t - and even in faraway Tokyo she found enough clever uses of wattage to soften the most humbuggy of hearts. You won’t find these in your neighbor’s yard.

A beautifully animated trip to the North Pole restores a boys faith in Santa, and Carl Gauze’s in computer animation.
