"Having bought various OM releases over the years, I'm very familar with the smooth jazzy hip-hop sound many of their artists are known for. This holiday release is no exception. The crew at OM put a very classy, urban feel to the classics. I especially likes the smooth vocals on "Winter Wonderland" and the house feel of "Still Still Still". "Charlie Brown Cut Up" has this great hip-hoppy vibe with beats and scratches laid under a vocal track of "Hark the herald angels sing".If you're looking for the ultimate cool and hip Christmas CD for your party this year, this is it!"
Why Aren't More People Talking About This Album?!

"I heard this album while doing my Christmas shopping and immediately was taken aback by the fresh beats put on the old seasonal classics and the overall musical innovation. I leave this in my car stereo all year long! A great introduction to the talents of the OM artists."
New holiday classic

"In a time when chillout is threatening to be the new Muzak, it is always nice to see something that strives to be something more than flop-around-the-housemusic. Om, as its name indicates, has always strove to be an interconnection of downtempo with a spiritual/intellectual flair, and this couldn't have been a better expo for their platform. Most of these songs sound strangely appropriate for any time, by this I mean they do not sound like they will be dated when played, say, 10 years or longer from now; which I predict will happen. Listening to the album in sequence, I dare you to not freeze and be mesmerized when the vocals for "Sing Sing Sing" start up. And I'm not even gonna tell you about "Charlie Brown"... I wanna keep that a surprise so you can laugh through the traffic like I did. So buy, the least I can say is that for eleven dollars its the best and most spiritually sincere album this holiday. If you prefer "peace on earth" to "toys n trees" this will move you from the hips down and the neck up."
Hands down, one of my favorite Christmas CD's....

"I love this CD. I discovered this Christmas genre a few years back and keep hoping for MORE Christmas chill CD's. I begin looking in July each year.
I have probably 12-15 of these, and this one is in my Top 2! :) The other one is called, "Christmas Eclectic"
