Twist'n'Shout


Xymox - Twist Of Shadows [839 233-1 UK 1989 24-Bit FLAC]

Recently remastered and reissued in the USA, here's an original 1989 pressing of this well received Xymox album for comparison. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Ripped from penguinflight's pristine original vinyl copy, Twist Of Shadows marked the commercial (major label) debut of those former members of Clan Of Xymox, reverting to just plain Xymox. Despite this album being much more synth-poppy than the 4AD releases, it is a bloody good listen as our Dutch friends clearly have a better ear for a good tune than many of their British post-goth contemporaries.

This flawless platter was a joy to rip and the sound quality is second to none when compared to other vinyl pressings from the late eighties.

    I ve always like the cd

    It was very dynamic

    But this vinyl appears to have some better separation amongst the instruments and is nice and warm

    Its quite hard to tell its a vinyl

    Man that vinyl is in great shape

    Cheers for this mate

    Deep in our hearts we are alone Please repost the Blind Hearts 12" It sounds so much better than the album version. If not for us music lovers do it for my cat. He digs Xymox a lot and he can't write very much.
    Thanks in advance
