From the fingers that fused 'Tarkus'; from the mind that molded maniacal music with keyboard molestations; from the honky who helped heave huge pianos end over end... comes one of the most creative Christmas albums of all time. There are incredible arrangements included within this collection as well as stellar performances from the premiere key-meister of our time. The album closes with the most soulful version of 'Silent Night' that you will ever hear. Keith has been called every name in the book from genius to prodigy to legend. Listen to this album, though and get lost in the inherent soulfulness of the season. Then call Emerson the bringer of peace-filled tidings. Happy Christmas, Keith (in the middle of July) and thank you for your gift...W. Bledsoe
Not a lot of Christmas music has come from artists associated with progressive rock, but this album is a welcome exception. Mostly instrumental, it features Emerson reworkings of traditional carols and classical pieces alongside some originals. "Captain Starship Christmas," a little seasonal science fiction story sung by the West Park School Choir, was left off the 1995 re-release of this album on Blue Sky Music.
