| This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Web Christmas CD, so we've come up with something extra-special to celebrate. In recent years, most have been compilations of live tracks and the occasional b-side, sound clip, or acoustic version. This year's CD, however, is made up of BRAND NEW music that you've NEVER heard before! |
| During the writing sessions for "Happiness is the Road" producer Mike Hunter recorded the band’s daily jam sessions, editing the best bits and ideas into a more coherent shape, and then re-presenting them to the band for further development. The majority of them became the songs you hear on the new album; but what we're giving you on this year's Christmas CD is a collection of some of the best UN-USED jams. |
| As Mike was going through the jams for this CD, though, he had an inspired thought and began arranging the more 'seasonal'-sounding ones into a sonic poem, using Dylan Thomas's reading of his "A Child's Christmas in Wales" as a common thematic element. The band loved the idea of this, so h re-recorded the words and Mike arranged the music for this very special project. |
