01. Magic Bullet - We Wish You A Merry Xmas (3:03)

Love it or loathe it, it's nearly upon us! From the Camembert Électrique compilation album, "ApocalyXmas Now" (December 2022)

02. Conny Plankton - In Winter Yule (Misrule Mix) (4:32)

A special mix by Kev Trundley exclusively for our Xmas show, nice man. The original version comes from the album "In Winter" (January 2021)

03. Wilfried Hanrath - Stille Nacht (3:25)

Recorded especially for the show by our fellow EFSPACM member, based in Wuppertal, Germany. A few strange parallels to my own musical history here; started young, then abandoned his dreams for all that regular life stuff - you know, studying, job, family et al - but whereas I got to the "what the fuck am I doing with my life" thing at 28, he actually saw it through and didn't come back to sound creation until he was 50. 16 years on, still going strong...

04. Magic Bullet - Stille Nacht (8:25)

Originally recorded for Xmas 2019, from the album "Curiositas" (April 2020)

05. The Phlod-Nar - (Not So) Silent Night (3:27)

Also from the Camembert Électrique compilation album, "ApocalyXmas Now", this is the work of Dutch composer, Randolph, currently residing in Belgium and enjoying making out of the box sounds since 1996.

06. Shaun Robert - Saturnalianode (1:57)

You know who he is!!!

07. {AN} Eel - I'm Dreaming (2:23)

Experimental vocalist based in Toronto, Canada, and another fellow EFSPACM member to boot. As well as solo and collaborative works, he produces a series of compilations on his netlabel (which would be called Charlie Dog Records if it actually had a name), the most significant of which is the 'Two Halves' series, putting artists together from all around the world to create something between them that neither would probably have come up with alone. Cool, huh...

Oh, the track is from the Default Standard Records compilation album, "White Noise Christmas" (December 2021)

08. Christ & Satan - Santa Claus Is The Antichrist (1:16)

Vintage M&E fayre from their "Dark Side Of The Sausage" EP (March 1989), the work of Philip Hutchinson and Peter Hussey, I'm not sure which was which. I was responsible for the "give me a fucking mince pie" line (which had to be edited for radio, sadly). They shortened the name to Christ later the same year, following a successful exorcism,  going on to release several cassette albums. Philip is now part of Lucky Dog Theatre Productions, describing himself as "actor, puppeteer, tour guide, playwright, DJ, historian, Laurel & Hardy, not straight." Peter Hussey is the proud possessor of a brand new life...

no bandcamp, but a few tracks and free downloads on their entry in the A-Z of M&E

09. Stormclouds - Santa Is A Spaceman (2:05)

The psychotronic talents of the late and much lamented Steve Lines, here performing with the classic line up alongside Louise Allen and Jim Xavier, originally from the "Christmas With Stormclouds" cassette, released on M&E way back in January 1996...

10. Veronika Škutová - Christmas Under Reconstruction (2:55)

Electro-experimentalist based in Bratislava, Slovakia. From the Camembert Électrique compilation album, "Def Cember: Xmasia" (December 2021)

11. Melophobia - On The Road, At The Fair, Christmas Eve (We Live Among Them) (3:04)

The sound creation project of  Dimitris Tsironis, the man behind Greek label, Default Standard Records, though this track isn't taken from one of his own compilations, it's another one from "ApocalyXmas Now"...

12. Terbeschikkingstelling - For Magic Are A Jolly Good Bullit (3:25)

Volker Störtebeker can pronounce that name, but then he would be able to, it's his project. Yet another fellow EFSPACM member, this one being something of an experimental trombonist, here offering a delightfully Bacchanalian party vibe, taken from Volume 3 of our Communitas series...

13. Wham - Last Christmas (A Wilfried Hanrath Fun Mix) (5:18)

If you're a Wham fan and you have been affected by listening to this track, support is available for you right here on our website...

Just a rehearsal, but amusing and perfect for the show. Also available on the digitised version of "Christmas With Stormclouds" linked above...

15. Magic Bullet & Twizz - I Want More Toys! (1:16)

And one of ours to close, also included on "ApocalyXmas Now", and more recently on our best of collection, "Centurion"...
