Sometimes witty, sometimes melancholic, the original version of Ghosts of Christmas Past in November 1981 featured exclusive contributions from luminaries such as Tuxedomoon, The Durutti Column, Paul Haig, Michael Nyman, Aztec Camera, Thick Pigeon and The Names. Subsequent editions in 1982 and 1986 added songs by Antena, Mikado, The French Impressionists, Pale Fountains and Winston Tong. For this new double CD version in 2015 Crepuscule have now added more chantons noel by Blaine L. Reininger, Section 25, The Wake, Marsheaux, Deux Filles, Stanton Miranda, Virna Lindt, B Music and Ultramarine. \"Crepuscule's Christmas cracker is here to rescue the festive season from the fogies and bores\"(Melody Maker); \"Aztec Camera's Hot Club of Christ is a busy, Django-esque run through a few well-known Christmas ditties, Michael Nyman's Cream or Christians is a silly but loveable fragmented organ collage in a typical English eccentric tradition, Tuxedomoon are in playful Residential mood\" (NME)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Section 25 - Jesus Sweetly Sleeps \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Miranda Dali - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Wake - Jesus from the Block \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Marsheaux - We Met Bernard Sumner at a Christmas Party Last Night \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Ultramarine - Winter Circle \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Isolation Ward - Lamina Christus \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Thick Pigeon - Jingle Bell Rock \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Aztec Camera - Hot Club of Christ \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Paul Haig - Scottish Christmas \u003cbr\u003e1.10 B Music - Rocking Carol \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Tuxedomoon - Weihnachtsrap \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Virna Lindt - Festivo \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Blaine L.
