Review
Lush, luscious, luxurious. Those are the
first words that come tumbling out of my head early on a rainy Saturday morning
in late November as I listen to 2002's Christmas Dreams, with an icebox still
laden with Thanksgiving turkey and bedrooms full of children and grandchildren.
2002's calm, cool instrumental harmonies give me one brief respite before the
commencement of our final Thanksgiving ritual, the decorating of the tree. The
purpose of new age music is to provide respite, to allow contemplation, to evoke
emotional release. 2002's Christmas Dreams fulfills this purpose through the use
of lush, string-laden instrumental arrangements. Though produced through the
wonder of electronics, the sound is warm and romantic. The 10-song set, though
made up of public domain classics, feels fresh and alive. Time is short for a
reviewer of holiday music, but if one has the time, one can bathe in the
luxurious sensuality of Christmas Dreams for hours. --Richard Banks (Reviewed in
