Heavenly peaceful sounds

"I was waiting for a plane to arrive in our jet center in Colorado Springs and heard this soft continuous familiar Christmas music playing somewhere. It was so peaceful to hear, and unique. I asked the Flight Coordinator who it was; she said Wind Machine out of Colorado, near Boulder, and then told me other CD's of theirs and that I should be able to find them at Amazon or a store in Col Spgs. She said also that they tour. Great background music for a waiting area or a party and the kind of sound that makes you ask who is that artist and what CD."

A Christmas Favorite

"Our whole family enjoys Wind Machine Christmas music. It sets the tone for reflecting on the true meaning of the season. We have the other two Christmas offerings from Wind Machine but this one has become my favorite. Tasteful arrangements and beautiful instrumentation ... this is not just your typical seasonal fare ... the choice of Amazing Grace as the closer is particularly pleasing ... never thought of this as a Christmas song, but in reality, it is the essence of Christmas ... God's Amazing Grace demonstrated through Christ our Saviour!I definitely recommend adding this one to your holiday music."

A Cool, Refreshing Breeze for the Holidays

"Wind Machine's interpretations of Christmas standards are always a joy to listen to, largely in part to Joe Scott's playing of the guitjo, an instrument that creates a lovely and delicate harp-like sound. The only drawbacks are the inclusion of original tunes that, although still pleasant enough to listen to, just don't quite seem to fit in with the traditional stuff.



Here, fortunately, the originals are kept to a minimum, resulting in the very best of their Christmas output. Where most performers fumble on their version of The Little Drummer Boy, Wind Machine ends up creating a fresh and original rendition that remains respectful to the original spirit of the song.



If you've never listened to Wind Machine or their Christmas music, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you'll find here."
