Christmas Nutcracker Dubstep & Techno Classics, PumpYouUp (self-issued)

Well, here's one to put that whole "Nutcracker" phenomenon in its place -- a dubstep and techno version of the classic ballet, augmented by versions of classic carols and a batch of classical selections given the treatment as well. In addition to seven selections taken from "The Nutcracker," we get "Dubstep of the Bells," a good excuse to drop the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and reprogram your outdoor Christmas lights; "First Noel Dub," "Greensleeves Dub," "Hark The Herald Angels Complex," "I Saw Three Ships Dub" and "Dark Jingle Bells Dub." The classical roster includes "Toccata Fugue D Minor Dub," "Dance of the Nights Dub," "Night on Bald Mountain Dub," "Rite of Spring Dub," "Fantasia Dub," "Passacaglia Dub," "Vivaldi Storm Dub" and a couple others. Not sure anybody would listen all the way through, but I imagine some folks would want to drop a cut into their mix discs, playlists or mix tapes.
