Klaus Wunderlich - Jingle Bells (1987)

Well, I did say on Friday that George Winston's December wasn't just some scholcky record for the holiday season... couldn't resist some nice festive schlock today though.  It's the best kind of festive schlock though, that comes in an almost fully segued suite of Wersi digital organs and synthesizers, in the capable hands of organ-botherer Klaus Wunderlich (1931-1997).

It's hard to explain the appeal that this album has to me; think it must just be the sound of the keyboards.  There's something beyond just mere cheese, something woozy and uncanny, almost a hallucinatory quality.  Like having the cold for Christmas and drinking too much cough syrup, and the Christmas tree dolls on the album cover start to come to life. Enjoy the ever-so-slightly-uneasy listening oddness.
