Covering Christmas Compilations

Each Christmas I present seasonal compilations on my mp3 blog. Every sampler has a different cover but always designed in the same style with a similar typography.
Here's a couple of examples. Any favorites?

"Species of sea snail" by Hydronym

Hydronym is a Croatian band and even in Croatia nobody has ever heard of them. But that will soon change. If you like weird voices, athmosferic music and strange sound effects this is your record of the year. There is surely no second band like this, and their debut album will not become a huge succes. Because it's so unique.
If you're in for a very original sound experience from a contraversal band that always keeps in mind that there always needs to be songs, do buy this album.
You won't regret it.

"Don't take away my heart" by Paul Cameron

 Paul Cameron has been singing for years but never broke through to a bigger audience. His new album "Don't take away my heart" is a lot poppier than his previous CDs. Maybe that's because he left the production to Roy Crombie (known from the likes of Journal, Polish Prams and Severe Society). The album sounds solid and powerful and talks about more mature subjects. I guess Cameron has grown up and is ready to confront a large fanbase.
