Product Description

Album Details

22 tracks. LTM is proud to announce the first complete CD release of the classic compilation album Ghosts of Christmas Past, first released on chic Belgian indie label Les Disques du Crepuscule in 1981. Originally released as in 1981, Ghosts of Christmas Past (Chantons Noel) featured 13 exclusive festive tracks from the international avant garde and new wave, as well as the celebrated Factory Records and Postcard rosters. Then, as now, the contributing artists include The Durutti Column, Aztec Camera, Paul Haig, Tuxedomoon, Wim Mertens, Cabaret Voltaire, Michael Nyman, The Names, Thick Pigeon and Simon Topping of A Certain Ratio. The original album now features nine bonus tracks drawn from later editions of the album released between 1982 and 1986. These include seasonal contributions from The Pale Fountains, Antena, The French Impressionists, Winston Tong and The Arcadians (aka French pop polymath Louis Philippe), as well as extra tracks from Paul Haig and The Durutti Column. The booklet features original artwork by Benoit Hennebert and Jean-Franis Octave, as well as a facsimile of the insert featuring Christmas postcards, and detailed liner notes. The original bauble cover art by Hennebert is widely recognised as one of his finest designs. This new CD edition has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes, and features 74 minutes of material. Most of the featured tracks remain unavailable elsewhere.


Album Description

Even Alternative Artists Celebrate Christmas Too and this Coollection (Sic) Brings Together Recordings from Many Artists that You'll Never See on a Major Label Holiday Disc. Where Else Could You Find the Likes of the Durutti Column, Cabaret Voltaire, Pale Fountains, Paul Haig, Aztec Camera, Tuxedomoon, Michael Nyman, Current 93 and Many More all on One Disc?

3.0 out of 5 stars 聖夜でなくても、この一枚でいつでも聖夜☆彡, 2002/12/24
このレビューの引用元: Ghosts of Christmas Past (CD)
ベルギーはブリュッセル、“黄昏”という名のレーベルから80年代に届けられたクリスマス・コンピレーション2枚の編集盤。一曲目、Aztec Cameraの手で一瞬にしてメリー・クリスマスな世界に引き込まれると、今度は一転 The French Impressionistsの甘美な歌声にとろけてしまう。。。 寡作のユニットThe Arcadiansもオリジナルのクリスマス・ソングで聖夜をいっそうピースな雰囲気に。全体的にはそれほどインパクトのない一枚なので、ビギナー向けではないかもしれないが、80年代ヨーロッパの雰囲気を存分に醸し出している大名盤! 編集盤でなく、オリジナルの再発熱望!!

5.0 out of 5 stars クレプスキュールきっての人気盤, 2003/11/21
By ricky78 - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
このレビューの引用元: Ghosts of Christmas Past (CD)
 クリスマスを記念してリリースされたオムニバス盤で確か、個々に参加しているアーティスト達のイラストが使われたものと、ツリーの飾りを拡大したジャケ(コレですね)とリメイクというアルバムの半数近くが別のものに入れ替わったものの3種類があったと記憶しています。

 内容はもう最高!おそらくクレプスキュールのコンピ盤中最も人気のある一枚だと思う。特にネオアコ勢の楽曲の出来がどれも素晴らしいものばかり!クリスマス・ソングをメドレー形式で軽快に演奏したアズテックスの1最近、再評価著しいジャズ・ヴォーカル調のフレンチ・インプレッショニスツの2、マイケル・ヘッドのナイーヴなヴォーカルにグッとくるペイル・ファウンテンズの3、アルカディアンズの超名曲5、3人組時代のアンテナの代表曲6、元ジョゼフKの鬼才ヴォーカリスト、ポールへイグのシングル8、相変わらずの清々しいギターを聞かせてくれるドゥルッティ・コラムの9、詳細は不明ながらカッコいいニューウェーヴ・ファンクを聞かせるヒルクレスト・クラブ10、謎のドイツ語ラップをかますタキシードムーンの13等充実の楽曲揃い。
 それ以外にもクレプスキュールらしくインダストリアルの重鎮キャバレー・ヴォルテールやカレント93(!)がいたり、マイケル・ナイマンや最後のトラックはグレゴリオ聖歌で終わるなどアイデアも豊富。毎年クリスマスが来ると聞きたくなる名作。オリジナル使用で再発してくれたら嬉しいなぁ~。

4.0 out of 5 stars Ghosts of Christmas Songs Past, 2008/2/1
By 流星羊 (横須賀) - See all my reviews
1981年にクレプスキュールからリリースされ、
再発を重ねるごとに曲目は入れ替えられながら全体として
曲目数は増えつつあるというある意味長寿の編集盤です。

最初聴いたときは、置いてかれそうな加速ぶりのアズテック・
カメラの1曲目を除いて、暗くはないけど当時の風潮としての
内向性のせいからか退屈にも感じられるのですが、片手を超える
回数を聴いているうちに、構成の妙・珠玉の逸品に気づきます。

個人的には、アンテナの"Noelle a Hawai"がベストテイクでしたが、
ドゥルッティ・コラムとポール・ヘイグのそれぞれの2曲が舞台を
入念に整えており、渋い仕事をしています。

また再発されて曲が入れ替わってたら、入手してしまうかも。
テンション低めの音楽をお求めの向きにはどうぞおすすめします。
