"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

So, what exactly does Kev's music sound like? Think Vangelis (of "Chariots of Fire" fame) meets Moby (from his "Play" era), with his Christmas tracks in the vein of Mannheim Steamroller.

• 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!
• 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
• Christmas Spirit
"Every song is an adventure. For those who enjoy Mannheim Steamroller on a hallucinogenic trip, KevOz's Christmas Spirit may be the perfect ride. Cool!" -- Carol Swanson for ChristmasReviews.com
• 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

Spirited electronic arrangements
author: Richard Banks of Christmasreviews.com
This is the kind of music that deserves to show up on the holiday instrumental mix tape, 6-disc changer, or playlist. Composing primarily from public domain classics, KevOz has assembled a number of ingenious arrangements. Though not as extravagant as Mannheim Steamroller, these are consistent with the Chip Davis genre.
I found myself most intrigued by O Come, O Come, Emmanuel because this mysterious song has so much to offer to the postmodern listener. Kev's original melody My Christmas Song, a spirited new age arrangement, is also worth a second listen.
The eleven-song set comprises a nifty holiday variety pack; from cheery new age to old school orchestral, there is something for everyone here.
