about

Originally released in a private edition to family and friends for Christmas 2006, The Sounds of Xmas is a tribute to those very family and friends, and the true holiday spirit of love and generosity. Featuring acoustic and electric guitars, voice, loads of home video samples, and a garnish of synthesizer - this album captures a very raw and early view into the MM solo sentiment.
Enjoy free downloads of the title-track, as well as "December 10th, 1991"..
Sit back and sink into these yuletide meditations, available for a limited time only..
Happy Holidays!
