#LAST SOUL CLAN BAND FULL#

Rivers (Dead Can Dance) This album marked the reformation of Clan Of Xymox and itвЂ™s attitude towards itвЂ™s own written history, convincing everyone once again of their qualities both on recordings and live performances. Allen (Sisters of Mercy, The Cure) and John A. The album вЂњHidden FacesвЂќ of Clan of Xymox relates to their 4-AD years with a modern feel to it Various tracks sound heavy, layered with guitars, pounding rhythms, anguished & dark brooding vocals and dreamlike keyboard pads. In 1997 Ronny Moorings ended the Xymox era, restarted Clan of Xymox and the band signed to a brand new USA and German based Independent label Tess Records. In 1996 Xymox contributed music for a CD-ROM games project named вЂњTotal MayhemвЂќ and a year later the music for the game вЂњRevenantвЂќ, released worldwide by Domark. In 1994 Xymox re released their first ( from 1984, only 500 original printed copies exist) limited available mini album вЂњSubsequent PleasuresвЂќ on Double Dutch Records and without consent Zok Records released a вЂќ Remix вЂќ album which contains only radio edits of the albums вЂњMetamorphosis вЂќ and вЂњHeadcloudsвЂќ compiled together. Here, in addition to their trademark choral sounds and hypnotic electro rhythms, are albums taking a whole range of styles and influences, taking Xymox into the вЂ™90s dance era, itвЂ™s the work of a band who are never afraid to take chances.In the UK they nearly entered the top 40 charts with the вЂњReaching OutвЂќ single and was played on heavy rotation in the UK. вЂњMetamorphosisвЂќ and вЂњHeadcloudsвЂќ are the latest two albums, released on Zok Records, an independent label, solely working for Xymox. The band embarked on sell out tours around the world and featured in college alternative and mainstream Billboard charts. The bands fourth album вЂњPhoenixвЂќ released worldwide in 1991 was their last album on Wing, a division of PolyGram and had ecstatic reviews but sold not as much as their predecessor despite of their loyal U.S.

вЂњTwist of ShadowsвЂќ had sold in excess of 300,000 copies. For years Xymox had enjoyed cult status across Europe but were now beginning to cause a stir in America. Supported by three excellent 12 inch releases вЂњObsessionвЂќ, вЂњImaginationвЂќ and вЂњBlind HeartsвЂќ вЂ“ this was an album that confirmed the diversity of their appeal as again they clicked in both dance and alternative circles.

It was in many ways a bold record and it showed that being signed to a major concern wasnвЂ™t going to stifle a natural sense of musical adventure. The band shortened their name to Xymox and gave the world 1989вЂ™s вЂњTwist of ShadowsвЂќ album, their debut for Wing. Encouraged by label boss Ivo they signed to Wing, a left of centre subsidiary of media monolith PolyGram. October 1988 saw the band and 4-AD part company. Clan Of Xymox were now not only inhabiting the arthouse but filling dance floors in the more discerning clubs. Aided by the impressive 12 inch single вЂњA Million ThingsвЂќ the band really started to create a buzz. Album number two was a very different beast.ДЎ987вЂ™s вЂњMedusaвЂќ was mostly a dark record, in places a chilling exercise in atmospherics and modern pop dynamics. вЂњMuscoviet MusquitoвЂќ, sandwiched between Dif Juz and Dead Can Dance, showed a more confident side to the band.

Recorded at EdinburghвЂ™s famed Palladium Studios and co- produced with 4-AD supremo Ivo, it was a record full of tumbling electro beats, throbbing sequencers and moody vocals.ДЎ987 saw the band provide a track for вЂќ Lonely is An EyesoreвЂќ, a fascinating compilation album highlighting the diversity of talent on the 4-AD roster. They are unique.ДЇirst there was Clan of Xymox, formed in Amsterdam but signed to leading English independent label 4-AD, home at one time or another to the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Pixies, Throwing Muses, among others.ДЎ985 saw the release of the bandвЂ™s self-titled debut album. A band fired by electronic music but determined, always, to make something that is very much their own. Some of us have always been of the opinion that XYMOX are something special. Since their formation in their native Holland their music has been constantly changing, always challenging and often quite breathtaking. ***Extra date: October 20th, (special setlist) вЂ“ only 100 tickets!*** Creatures of the night wonвЂ™t miss this oneвЂ¦ Last Day DeafВ is more thanВ proud to announce that is the Media Partner for the 21st October live appearance of Dutch darkwave legends Clan Of Xymox,В that will take place at Death DiscoВ (Athens, Greece).
