Xmal Deutschland - Gift: The 4Ad Years (1983-1984)

Gift', which will fascinate newcomers just as it feeds the faithful, is brimming with presence. And if the word “gift” in German slyly relates to a kind of poison, nobody said this music was all sweetness and light. Even if its radiance resonates, four decades later. Xmal Deutschland’s 4AD years were a bold and bewitching boomerang. The magic’s back. This set contains their two albums released with the label (the feverish 'Fetsich' and titanic 'Tocsin'), as well as tracks off other related releases and EPs including 'Incubus Succubus II' and 'Qual', creating a package pulsating with power and poise.
