Mr. Martin returns with a holiday release of original Christmas songs. The tracks were mixed by the fabulous Frank Lenz.<\/p>\n<p>Super Deluxe = \u00a0CD \/ Cassette \/ Christmas Ornament \/ 2 Stickers \/ and a Lyric sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Deluxe CD = CD \/ Ornament \/ 1 Sticker \/ and a Lyric sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Deluxe Cassette = Cassette \/ Ornament \/ 1 Sticker \/ and a Lyric sheet<\/p>\n<p>CD = CD<\/p>\n<p>Cassette = Cassette<\/p>\n<p>Bells Merrily is a new album of original electronic Christmas music by Ronnie Martin. Martin\u2019s long-running cult electronic pop band Joy Electric released 14 albums and cultivated a worldwide fanbase before disbanding in 2013. Bells Merrily follows Martin\u2019s triumphant 2021 return to music with the Velvet Blue-released From the Womb of the Morning\u2026 LP.<\/p>\n<p>Bells Merrily is a brand-new collection of original songs. A deep sense of nostalgia has always coursed through Martin\u2019s music; here he leans into the wistful, hushed, slightly melancholy feeling of the season, reflecting on the essential mystery at its core with wide-eyed reverence and sobriety. Martin\u2019s signature Moog Synthesizer melodies twinkle like lights on the tree punctuated by synthesized washes of white noise and sound effects reminding us that old man winter is just outside the tightly shut door. The combined effect produces an ethereal and timeless set of songs that feel like they\u2019ve been with us all through the years, playing softly in the background while presents are unwrapped and advent candles are lit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[93],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1622","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-ronnie-martin","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-variable"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/1622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=1622"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=1622"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/velvetbluemusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=1622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
