Xmal Deutschland
Early Singles 1981-1982
sacred bones
This fizzy and punchy collection from the German rockers showcases their mastery of good old punk and synthesised roll - it's a riotious blast and, if anything, is staggering that they managed to squeeze so much gold into one 12 month stretch.
'Early Singles (1981-1982)' is a map of the foundational movements of Xmal Deutschland, just seconds before takeoff. Bonus tracks on the compilation, “Kaellbermarsch” and a gritty live version of “Allein,” further accentuate their fusion of toughness with the quixotic decadence of atmospheric synthesizers. The band’s pursuit of something greater is palpable with this release, a reflection of a time that introduced accessibility to new means of making music following the onset of punk.
