Amazon.co.uk Review
With just about every musical genre under the sun having a Christmas compilation, it's about time that indie had a crack at it. So in 2000, alongside the inevitable (and numerous) Best Christmas Album In The World Ever!-style releases, Jeepster (that bastion of indie credibility) planted its flag with It's A Cool Cool Christmas. And what a line-up it's got: Jeepster's own Belle & Sebastian, Calexico, Saint Etienne, Teenage Fanclub, the Flaming Lips, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci--21 artists in all. Truly, these are the indie elite of 2000, united for a good cause (all profits from this album go to The Big Issue Charities). Although the bulk of the compilation is made up of original or lesser known songs (including Low's superb "Just Like Christmas" from their equally superb Christmas and a happier Eels proclaiming "Baby Jesus, born to rock" on the singalong "Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas"), the biggest gems on It's A Cool Cool Christmas are the new takes on traditional favourites. The Dandy Warhols rock their way through "Little Drummer Boy", Belle & Sebastian shine with "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and Grandaddy pay fitting tribute to one of their 70s prog heroes on "Alan Parsons In A Winter Wonderland". --Robert Burrow

At 21 songs on 1 CD it is fantastic value, and the wonderful truth is that the vast majority of the songs are great. Grandaddy and Eels get things off to a marvellously shimmery and twisted start, whilst interpretations by Sixby7 and The Flaming Lips half way through keeps things ticking very nicely indeed. Granted Lauren Laverne's contribution is a meritless re-working of In The Bleak Midwinter (She has annoyingly mistaken fuzzing up the vocals for being truly alternative...how about some soul love?) and a few others are forgettable, but on the whole it's hard to fault an album that does the Christmas compilation thing differently and with conviction. Oh, and there's the true spirit of Christmas displayed by the profits going to the homeless, so everyone's a winner. At the end of the day I'm not so much of a musical snob as to dismiss the likes of The Best Christmas...Ever, I love both that album and this, but for very different reasons. Merry Christmas. :o)  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Outstanding tracks by The Flaming Lips (Who used there re-take on 'White Christmas' as a demo for Tom Waits) demonstrate an ironic revision of a classic without damaging the origional. Basically this album is a homage to all the greats, with a political agenda. All proceeds from the CD go to The Big Issue with is a wholey worthwile cause. Excellent mix of styles are represented, so help someone else enjoy Christmas and purchase this brilliant album.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

This album builds on Lows excellent 'Christmas EP' from last December, indeed, track twenty is the sublime opening track from that EP. The track stood out on Lows EP as by far the most emotional and uplifting, but on this compilation it sits prouldly amongst songs of equal callibre. The selection reads like a manifesto of the direction of contemporary music, with a good selection of new bands with more established likes. Every track is excellent, the album will grow for many years to come. Especially worth listening to are the contributions from Six by Seven, Teenage Fanclub, Low, Snow Patrol and the Eels (who break with their more traditional depression to proclaim 'everythings gonna be cool this Christmas'). Buy this album if you have a soul, if not, just spin up last years "Best Xmas in the world...." and weep.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
