This beautiful 8 panel deluxe Digi-pak is a two CD set of 32 tracks, featuring bands representative of musical genres from Electronica to Indie Rock who have been influenced by the band. Participants from across America and Europe include New Order/Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, Detachments, Rabbit in the Moon, John Ralston, Sunbears!, The Cloud Room, The Dark Romantics, GD Luxxe, Pocket, Light Yourself On Fire, XOXO & Kites with Lights. A portion of the proceeds from album sales benefit the Salford Foundation Trust's Tony Wilson Awards, established in memory of the founder of Factory Records, who died of cancer in 2007. The trust benefits children and young people who can demonstrate a special talent or ambition in the arts or creative skills. This project celebrates Tony's 60th Birthday, which would have been February 20th 2010. Two additional collections of songs will be available as digital albums, "Ceremony - The Digital Album" & "Twelve Versions of Ceremony."

Press Quotes

We're especially digging the bright 'n' shimmery MGMT-meets-Passion Pit feel of Sunbears!' take on Thieves Like Us, and Christian Webb and Adam Knowles' pulsing, true-to-the-original cover of the title track, Ceremony.'

     —Jay Cridlin, Tampa Tribune / TBT

'The album treks through genres, from industrial to piano rock, to celebrate a band that, in their more than two decades together, never really made a bad album. Ceremony's roster is a varied and impressive list of bands from Jacksonville to London.'
