As you might know, I have a somewhat strange relation with the Xmas holidays. I love the over-the-top happiness and true/false sentiments. That's why, every year I build a cheesy Christmas Village and promise to make a special Christmas compilation.

Autumn has always been special to me. The days of hot summer days are over so I can finally wear some decent clothes. Most of all, Mother Nature brings us the most powerful colours of the year. That is one of the reasons I have learned to ignore all the complaining folks around me who tend to drown themselves in a puddle of self-pity because of lower temperatures, a little bit of rain and wind and longer nights. Big deal. Truth is, that the best music is usually written during and about those wet and darker autumn days. It gives me a big pleasure to bring to your attention my 2 new Autumn Collection Part 5 and 6. Keep smiling, Xmas is just around the corner.

Almost everyone has their own Xmas tradition(s). The Danish run around the tree on the 24th, yanks eat turkey and pumpkin pie till they throw up, the dutch are buying December scratch cards until their fingers start bleeding and me? Well...
The requests come in around the same time every year. "Mark, will you be making a new Xmas compilation this year?"
Little do they know that I have just about finished the damn thing.
I usually start compiling in August...
