Christmas Lights to the Max.....

Check out this clip of a house decked out with lights set to music.
Warning - it's a 3 minute clip so broadband recommended.
Don't forget to turn up the volume.

haha, someone has too much time on their hands.. I'm surprised the globes stood up to that much switching on and off.

Got a bit bored of it by the end and the music was really bad but it was interesting

Thanks RB.

Yeah it's a bit monotonous after a while.

I wonder what the neighbours think.

That person has way to much time on their hands, could you image the power bill for running all that.
If it was my neighbour I would most likely cut the power line as it would really wreck my night vision.

Agree with you Mick the music was bad it would drive you nuts after 5 minutes of hearing it.

I thought the music was majestic. Probably Russian. The light show was fun. Perfectly synchronised with the music. One of the better light shows that I have seen. And; the guy obviously has a sense of humour.

The festive spirit. Got any?

You know what guys there may be some astronomical thread to this post - check the video clip, look to the right of the house as we look at it, I think that is venus!

Very entertaining, extremely annoying music, but hey the guy is talented for creating it in the first place!

The song is called Wizards of Winter by The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The group writes the songs and then gets people from all different genres to perform them. Some of thier stuff is pretty good.

Top light show.

It's fantastic music and a great light (or maybe LED) show, the music is of there album "The lost Xmas eve".
Enjoy.
Merry Xmas.

That is brilliant, very clever. This guy must be a "roadie" to get that visual computer synchronisation with the music. Definitely not something that the ordinary pleb can do.
