What stops this CD being excellent is the vocals. Some of them sound like Meat Loaf, some are school-girl choirs and none of them are particularly good. However, there are three amazing instrumentals on this album that makes it all worthwhile - "First Snow", "A Mad Russian's Christmas" and "Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24". These tracks are powerful, orchestral and lively. They're not really progressive but they can knock you off your feet.

So overall with this album you are getting 3 essential tracks and 14 for fans only, which means that I would only advise you to pick up this album if you can find it at a good price (like I did!).
