Hawkestrel - 'SpaceXmas' (Purple Pyramid)
I usually do not get all (that much) into Christmas albums - however I have to admit this is a good one. Certainly, a solid effort from Alan Davey. Didn't mind taking in the cool instrumentals here - such as "We Three Kings", "It's A Wonderful (Funny Old) Life" - featuring Huw Lloyd Langton on acoustic guitar and "Fur Kirsty" (with Lloyd Langton on synthesizer). Also got some good from the well-received "Seasons" as well as the awesome "A Christmas Pleasure Project" (English translation), "Jingle Bells" [should've maybe had song lyrics], the Leonard Cohen-penned "Hallelujah" with Nik Turner on flute and the relevant CD closer "Twelve Daze Of Drinxmas". Duration - 46:54. Also available on limited edition red, green and white-splatter vinyl lp. Would make a nice gift.
