Anyhoo here's a great compilation CD on Loaf celebrating the capitalist cashfest that is Christmas. 'That Fuzzy Feeling' is a delightful 15 track comp featuring Canon Blue, Dollboy, Vincent Oliver & Isan, Ellis Island Sound, Hauschka, Rothko, Sean O Hagan, Gavouna, Klima, North Sea Radio Orchestra and lots lots more. Featuring great xmas hits like 'what on earth did you get me that for?', 'you spent how much on that piece of shite' and who could forget 'what on earth does it do?'. err.... well it doesn't but if you're after an alternative take on xmas then this is for you. Festive sounding electronic twinkles aplenty, beautiful lush soundscapes and all of that non jazz. Excellent for those who like Christmas but don't like the shit music that surrounds it.
