Beware of Recycled Christmas Gifts

"I have collected every Windham Hill Christmas album back to Winter's Solstice I. As with every holiday season, I looked forward to Windham Hill's latest collection. But this year's version is a total ripoff. It is merely a recylced collection of songs from previous Windham Hill Christmas CD's that I already own. Even though the cover says "Windham Hill presents a new collection of timeless Christmas favorites," every song was on a previous Christmas or Winter's Solstice CD. If Windham Hill had practiced truth in advertising I would have never forked out $19 for a bunch of songs I already have!!! This rating only reflects my anger at getting ripped off, the music is 5 stars."
Not new but still good!

"Buyer beware: this is indeed a new collection, although of material that has been previously released by Windham Hill on the "Solstice" and/or "Christmas" series. It certainly would be disappointing and a money waste to make the purchase expecting newly published material.
That being said, this is an excellent sampling of Windham Hill artists and performances within a single CD. The playlist is all instrumental guitar (amplified or acoustic) and represents a wide array of song titles. A perfect accompaniment for mellow mood holidays!

"Music's great but the songs are old. If you bought this cd and have the other ones too then hey, you have a perfect xmas present for your loved one! No need to be angry... and anyway you get the cream of the tracks from previous compilations in one place now, all in the row."
