England's purveyors of Future Funk, Strawberry Station are into sampling and Synthwave, providing a bit of a merry beat that may be a bit too deconstructed, at times, for my taste. Overall, though, I quite liked it. It was cheery and Christmasy and you can definitely dance to it. My favorite track was probably the brief opener "I'm Dreaming of A Funky Christmas", which is very 70s, 80s and 90s all rolled into one. "The Gift" (which is a reworked "Christmas Wrapping") is also quite winning. I'm a little less enthoused by "Macross Roasting on an Open Fibre". This one's name-your-price at Bandcamp.
