Xmal Deutschland - The Complete BBC Peel Sessions

German goth pioneers Xmal Deutschland - revered among British audiences in the early Eighties for their ominous and transfixing presentation of danceable darkwave, sung mostly in the German language - performed live for beloved DJ John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 program four times over the span of 1982 to 1985.
Emerging from Hamburg's art-punk underground and often associated with the Neue Deutsche Welle scene, the band quickly found a devoted UK following when they signed to 4AD and extensively toured alongside label mates Cocteau Twins, Clan of Xymox, and Dead Can Dance. Now, for the first time, their complete Peel Sessions recordings are collected in one place - available exclusively for Record Store Day as a 2×LP Silver Vinyl
set. The 16-song anthology, newly remastered at Abbey Road Studios (2026), includes fan favourites "Incubus Succubus," "Mondlicht," "Geheimnis," and "Qual". This release features new artwork by Timothy O'Donnel and band photography by Jörg Bohm.
