via Jonathan Hughes:"I'm a long-time reader of and occasional poster to matrixsynth. For the past few years around this time, my friends and I have done a Holiday CD. It's usually all original stuff, and nothing like normal holiday music. There are several songs that might be of particular interest to you and the readers of matrixsynth (especially if you can't stand listening to normal holiday music). They're completely electronic, and feature singing robots (well, not really -- it's the VocalWriter software). The songs are all supposed to be at least mildly amusing, and they seem to go over well with kids. But anyone who likes synth pop should appreciate them.
Featured synths include: Roland SH101 (all the solos are on the SH101), Dave Smith MEK, Waldorf Micro Q and Microwave XT, and Roland JP8000, plus Native Instruments' Battery loaded with vintage drum machine samples. I'd that the analog stuff (including analog drum machine samples) makes up about 75% of the songs.
You can find the songs here:

These are the electronics songs:
"The Only Present I Want"
"Robot and Snowman in 3D"
"Robot Holiday" (this is in the 2006 section)
I hope you like them
Jonathan Hughes"
