• A Very Merry Christmas
"KevOz carries on the tradition of dressing up all our favorite Christmas songs in new space-age garb, and I love it. Never garish or over-articulated, KevOz's arrangements are playful and fun, but completely down-to-earth." -- Richard Banks for ChristmasReviews.com
• Skip Back
A 10-year retrospective of KevOz's most downloaded and favorite tracks. There are 80 minutes of music on this disc!
• Holiday Fun
"This is the kind of music that deserves to show up on the holiday instrumental mix tape, 6-disc changer, or playlist. The eleven-song set comprises a nifty holiday variety pack; from cheery new age to old school orchestral, there is something for everyone here." -- Richard Banks for ChristmasReviews.com
• Digital
"KevOz pulls from a mix of old-school synth sounds to create the satisfying electronic album Digital. Think you need the latest and shiniest gear to make compelling music? Check out Digital and think again." -- Michael Gallant for Keyboard Magazine
• Return To Lakefront
"Breezy tunes with infectious beats and lots of *sunny day* attitude. The wonderful closing number, 'Sunset', may be the best thing Osborn has recorded up to this date. It's a slowly building dynamic exuberant song with an undeniable joyfulness running through it, as a piano refrain is joined by one synth after another, as well as some nicely muted tom-toms. It's an excellent closing cut." -- Bill Binkelman for New Age Reporter
• A Sampler
"The music of KevOz takes in a number of different Electronic styles, from Dance to New Age to Ambient to Melodic but always with a smoothness that KevOz brings to every track." -- Carl Jenkinson for Sequences Magazine
• Into Orbit
"Truth be told, I couldn't find a dull moment on the three consecutive trips I took, so strap yourself in for a zero-gravity aural journey of the highest order." -- Rod Lott for Cool and Strange Music Magazine
• Canvas
"His original compositions paint lively tapestries of shadows, sunrises, happiness, dreams and much more. This CD is a definite must for your New Age music collection." -- Christina Lord for Creations Magazine
• Lakefront
"Featuring 11 melodic tracks, based largely around some excellent piano work such as the beautiful title track & the cascading notes on 'Sailing Hearts'. This sets the basis for some rather beautiful music that benefits from excellent interplay of various sounds that make for some majestic musical tapestries." -- Carl Jenkinson for Sequences Magazine

Every song is an adventure.
author: Carol Swanson
Every song is an adventure. Christmas Spirit opens with someone tap-tapping on the pipes for several bars before The First Noel lifts to fit the tapping. Through the first minute of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear the melody is unidentifiable, but the lush tones and percussive beats are seductive. At the other end of the spectrum, Jingle Bells is a jingly, funky affair with Big Ben bell tones and a Caribbean feel. On Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, KevOz employs a stately, harpsichord-like effect. The title track (a KevOz creation) is a delightful blend of trumpet fanfare, bells, and breezy seasonal joy. Here's the bottom line--KevOz is an inspired artist, and he throws a lot of color on the canvas while mixing up the media. The end product is well-crafted and memorable. For those who enjoy Mannheim Steamroller on a hallucinogenic trip, KevOz's Christmas Spirit may be the perfect ride. Cool!
