Xmal Deutschland

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Great to see that Xmal Deutschland are getting some attention.

Viva was my first ever 'import' purchase.

In one of life's great coincidences I first heard Matador on a mixtape -
Track 1 - Matador
Track 2 - Alice
Track 3 - Floorshow ;D

Their BBC Sessions are high on my list of must haves.

First LP, Fetisch, yes; it's a bit punkier than their subsequent work, and always good fun. There's a great extended version of Qual as well.

Their second, Tocsin, is also great but in a different way, and Viva (3rd) has it's moments too.

Obviously I've heard the early singles via various sources, and I've an original 12" of the first version of Incubus Succubus already, but looking forward to having it all together in the one place on a nice sparkly new reissue.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
