tuxedomoon: at twilight

Les Disques du Crépuscule presents an anthology of classic recordings by Tuxedomoon, the exiled American avant-gardists who recorded for the label between 1981 and 1983. At Twilight includes all tracks from the three vintage LDDC singles Ninotchka, Time to Lose and The Cage, as well as rare compilation tracks including Shelved Dreams and Weihnachtsrap, the latter recorded for festive Crépuscule album Ghosts of Christmas Past. Also included in the haunting opening theme from The Ghost Sonata, an ‘opera without words’ performed by the group in Italy during the summer of 1982, while the set closes with the final three song demo with Blaine L. Reininger before his (temporary) departure in 1983. The cover art is based on the poster for The Cage by Patrick Roques, the designer responsible for several other classic TM sleeves including Half Mute and Desire. The deluxe 6 panel digipack and booklet also feature archive band images, sleeve art and poster designs.
