Xmal Deutschland - Peel Session 1982

[@rodrock85]

John Peel had a good taste of music ! Thanks John !

[@retropaganda8442]

I wonder if bands today would accept re-recording just for a radio show. In those years, these sessions allowed some of them access to an excellent recording studio and release a disc. For other bands, that makes interesting alternate versions of studio-quality.

[@persereika7401]

@@retropaganda8442 I like many Peel-sessions more than their original recordings. Like good quality demo-tapes.

[@andyholloway3128]

Another time when music meant something to people and everyone got it. Listen to the the tone, the feelings

OK grandad. Time for your nap.

This debut session Was always my fave and preferred versions..rawer..punkier..this and their 1st single..

[@shampooconditioner8314]

The guitar and her voice Is hypnotic

[@johnmacleod4481]

I do recall this being on the john peel show oh how I wish his voice was still to the fore of radio and championing music and groups the way we'd always known.

[@shoegazer93]

KEXP on KZbin is the new version of John Peel show

[@herbieshine1312]

And his humour and the stories about his family life! Total agreement with you

[@ariescustom]

We'll just over look that he was a paedo, shall we?

[@catbwoy]

Fantastic music. It's also a bittersweet pleasure to hear John speak

[@nickhtk6285]

The drumming on this recording is incredible.

Saw them several times at the hacienda. Excellent band

[@peterleash3998]

This is a piece of gold.

[@UsoundsGermany]

Yes it is :)

[@MarcelGeleijnse]

Brilliant. I remember listening to them at the time. Great band.

[@davepx1]

One of the great sessions, just as things were winding down into the unpromising 80s. I remember my accidental early & then late use of the pause button merging Incubus and Geheimnis perfectly into a single piece. :)

[@vodaploda]

Manuela Rickers guitar was what first got me into Xmal Deutschland...

[@carstenschreck4792]

Ich liebe diese Musik

Thanks for posting this! 🌑😎🌑

[@timothyrogers2744]

Awesome 🍻🤘😎

[@SKaschek]

Anja Huwes 100% authentischer Gesang, die crazy brutale Gitarre, Incubus Succubus ein Alptraum-Traum von Punkrock. Schade, sie hörten zu früh auf...

[@benjamimhoracio9734]

Grandioso John Peel

[@nadiaa2748]

Thanks vibracobra

[@rockinblue978]

I liked them a lot more than Souxsie and the Banshees

[@HollomanUFOLanding]

Although if there had been no Banshees there would have been no Xmal.

[@johnk4403]

@@HollomanUFOLanding we don't know that.

[@lazygazzzer]

@@HollomanUFOLanding Not according to the band. The starting point was Joy Division. They also hung out with Einstürzende Neubauten and got friendly with the Cocteau Twins. So no Souxsie. Having said that, because of bands like Souxsie and the Banshees and Bauhaus and the rest, there was an audience out there ready for Xmal Deutschland which would have made things easier for them. Just starting to rediscover this band myself - they are much better than I remember!

[@spikeycoda]

You can not say this. They didn’t even speak the same language. Besides it’s like saying there wouldn’t be punk with Malcom McLarren subsidizing the whole thing making it a commercial construct. Ewe.

Please know many djs carry the flame (including his son) on BBC 6 MUSIC !!!!!!! Marc Reilly being a particular favorite, he often plays Peel Sessions and even has bands in Session !!

[@khoffmansd]

Man.... if anybody was ever worthy of the Monarchy's system of recognition (OBE/knighthood) for services rendered for the good of the entire population of a nation, it's Saint Peel. His program was an island nation rising out of the sea; a mecca whose gravity pulled us in and sheltered all of us castaways. Happily marooned, Kyle xoxoxo

[@shampooconditioner8314]

It's like Sleater-Kinney went goth.

I don’t hear any resemblance between the two bands, other than that they are women musicians and have a woman singer.
