Jesus -- I really do, now, doubt humanity after coming to find that after six or seven or whatever years of ILX, that there is no specific (Clan Of) Xymox C/D thread.

I guess all I'll say is that it's a shame it doesn't sound nearly as different and new as it did at the time. Even within what 4AD was and had been, it sounded like an amazing step forward with the sound, entirely unique and satisfying.

Fave song on it was and still is the last one, "Back Door".

lol @ Ronny Moorings' ridiculous ponytail in the Twist of Shadows era:

They were/are/always will be embarassing crap.

I know, please don't remind me of the ponytail! I don't want to see it! I refuse!

But seriously, what in the living hell is a goddamn Muscoviet Mosquito???? There ought to be some kid of Godfather film where a mafia man asks that of someone as he points a gun to him.

god... how do goths spell middle of the road?

So Pieter Nooten, I'm sad to say, is using his massive Twitter following (184 followers, then 183 once I blocked him) spewing old-man-yelling-at-his-lawn ignorant racist nonsense like "Rap. So many words. So little to say".

Guess he meant "Klan of Xymox"?

*sigh*. Fucking lame.

To be honest, don't really care much for Clan of Xymox, but 'Sleeps with the Fishes' with Michael Brook was really something special. And he just had to take a shit on it, and, you know, 40 years worth of culture.

oh my God, i just got an email that Clan of Xymoz is playing in my area on November 5, 2018. what, they are still around?

haha, it's been so long Xymox.

So I had some thoughts on the 30th anniversary of "Imagination," the song which has never quite left me -- on my Patreon, subscribers only:

mentioned this on the goth thread last week... the versions of stranger and 7th time on this might be the best ones they recorded

I am baffled that this band is still going

IMO barely counts as the same band
