The Christmas Attic (20th Anniversary Edition) (Album of the Day)
For more than 20 years, progressive metal group Trans-Siberian Orchestra has cornered the market on holiday concept albums. The second installment in a trilogy, THE CHRISTMAS ATTIC tells the story of a little girl who spends nights in an attic filled with Yuletide reveries, a concept that TSO's sweeping soundscapes play to the hilt. Solo and choral vocals soar over the septet's rock orchestral backing across 16 tracks interweaving traditional and classical material with compositions by bandleader Paul O'Neill and cohorts. “Christmas Canon” would become a signature song for TSO, and this 1998 album and subsequent tour helped turn the group into a commercial juggernaut. The new 20th Anniversary Edition of THE CHRISTMAS ATTIC includes a previously unreleased on CD and vinyl version of “Christmas Jam (Live).” Merry Christmas from Rhino and Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

Solo and choral vocals soar over the septet's rock orchestral backing across 16 tracks interweaving traditional and classical material with compositions by bandleader Paul O'Neill and cohorts. “Christmas Canon” would become a signature song for TSO, and this 1998 album and its subsequent tour helped turn the group into a commercial juggernaut. Rummage around THE CHRISTMAS ATTIC and you'll find some of the most inspiring and enjoyable music of the season.
The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve (Album of the Day)
Since 1996, Trans-Siberian Orchestra has cemented itself as one of the world's biggest rock acts, playing approximately 2,000 shows for nearly 13 million fans and selling in excess of 10 million albums and DVDs. TSO's holiday perennial THE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS EVE - a favorite among fans from the 2001 multi-platinum DVD and long-running PBS fundraiser of the same name – has now been released as an audio package. The enchanting rock opera follows the journey of a young runaway who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater seeking shelter from the cold on December 24. Once inside, the teen is discovered by the theater's caretaker, who uses the ghosts and spirits from the building's past to turn her life around. With such seasonal songs as “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24," "O' Come All Ye Faithful," "Good King Joy" and the special bonus track "Music Box Blues (Daryl Pediford Tribute New York 2004)," THE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS EVE is the ideal way to ring in the holidays.
