    <reviewbody>This is a great idea, wonderfully executed - 8 different Xmas-themed tunes by 8 different artists on 8 different classic game consoles or computers!

Although it doesn't say which tune is from which classic computer on the release page (and I'm streaming, so I can't see the ID3 tags), I think it's:

Yerzmyey (Poland) - Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Nullsleep (USA)- Nintendo NES
Vim (UK) - Commodore VIC20
Paul Slocum (USA) - Atari 2600
Bit Shifter (USA) - Nintendo Game Boy
Goto80 (Sweden, Australia right now) - Commodore C64
DMA SC (France?) - Atari ST
Hally (Japan) - Sharp X68000

Great stuff - a truly international effort, and pretty darned catchy to boot, heh.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This is one very entertaining collection, which I think should become a perennial holiday classic.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>I've always loved the song "Silent Night", and I love the version here, Since it's so different to the other versions I've heard. It's cute, catchy and nostalgic, with a cool "Retro" feel. I can't wait to hear the other tracks on this album, I hope they are just as awesome.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>5/5 for "Silent Night"</reviewtitle>
