Christmas
arrives early this year with the release of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's
rock opera “The Christmas Attic” on 2-LP Set by Marshall Blonstein's
Audio Fidelity. Originally released in 1998, “The Christmas Attic” is
the second installment of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Trilogy.
The story begins On Christmas Eve, when a young girl's curiosity leads
her to a night of mischief and magic when she decides to sneak up into
the attic of her parents' home while she should be asleep. This album
contains a mix of vocal and instrumental songs. The track “Christmas
Canon,” one of the TSO's most well-known songs, is a variation of
Pachelbel's famous Canon in D Major, with lyrics and new music added as
well as Boughs of Holly and a soulful rendition of Music Box Blues.
“The
Christmas Attic” is being made available on vinyl for the first time in
a 2-LP set. The brilliantly remastered records are packaged in a
seasonal gatefold jacket that includes a colorful 12-page booklet filled
with the tale of The Christmas Attic as well as the lyrics to all the
songs.
When
founder and producer Paul O'Neill first conceived Trans-Siberian
Orchestra, his goal was as straightforward as it was ambitious:
“...create a progressive rock band that would push the boundaries
further than any group before, following in the footsteps of Emerson,
Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, the Who...but take it way, way further.”
With
more than 9 million albums sold TSO has inspired generations of fans to
rediscover the multi-dimensional art form of the rock opera. They've
become one of the world's top acts and listed in Billboard magazine as
one of the top touring artists of the past decade. Their $20
million-plus stage production has played to over 11 million people in
80+ cities across the globe. TSO will once again be touring during the
2014 and 2015 holiday season with “The Christmas Attic” show. Last year
they welcomed-in the New Year in front of over one million German fans
in a nationally televised show live from the Brandenberg Gate.
