The December People

Yeah...

Haven't heard them and absolutely don't care, this are the same guys that always make Tributes to other bands with different quality (Encores, Legends & Paradox was good, The Fox Lies Down was average and have some horrible ones).

Just look at the great and "original" stuff Magna Carta released

Emerson Lake & Palmer Tribute Genesis Tribute Jethro Tull Tribute Pink Floyd Tribute Rush Tribute Rush Tribute "Subdivisions" Yes Tribute Tribute to the Titans: With fragments of the previous albums SPECIAL PROJECTS Steinway to Heaven Drum Nation Drum Nation 2  A Soundtrack for 'The Wheel Of Time' http://www.magnacarta.net/artists.html

Guys like John Wetton or Trent Garder and Robert Berry don't want to create any more, so they just make tributes or this imitations of the great bands, if you check this releases you'll see the same names in each and every one, of course with other artists invited for one or two songs

But the worst thing is that this label is using their good bands to release this albums instead of forcing them to create new material, groups as Cairo, Shadow Gallery, Enchant and Magellan, should be releasing their own stuff, instead of butchering masterpieces (As some of them do).

But the worst fraud is the story they tell so innocent guiys will buy their stuff:

Robert Berry discovered The December People, practically in his backyard. With a little help from Magna Carta's Peter Morticelli and Robert Berry, The December People have produced an album of traditional Christmas tunes, arranged as though the classic rock bands of yore had performed them.

BS!!!!!, most of them are old musicians or nephews of good musicians (???) who are living many years ago of albums like this one (Except Steve Walsh, who I see for the first time and Lisa Bouchelle who I don't know):

Guest vocalists: Steve Walsh (Kansas), Jake Livgren (Kerry's nephew), Trent Gardner (Magellan, Explorers Club), Mike Baker and Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery), John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia), Lisa Bouchelle (Leonardo) and Robert Berry.

 I think this is pathetic.
