"Silent Night" is taken from the album “Za Bakdaz”, or “The Unfinished Opera”. This was originally made as a limited ed. Christmas gift/cassette circa 1980. Nomi was working on this album before he died in 1983. The album was released 24 years after his death. "Za Bakdaz" was nowhere near completion, but has been reconstructed from unfinished songs and Klaus's vocals, by George Elliott and Page Wood, Nomi collaborators.
