Clan of Xymox

Clan of Xymox, also known as Xymox, are a goth band founded in the Netherlands in 1984[4].

The album's artwork was done by Vaughan Oliver, and Tony Visconti provided string arrangements. A single, "Imagination," made the US charts.[1] SPIN, however, praised the album and called it "still ethereal, big and foreboding"; it commented on Moorings' limited knowledge of English and praised the production by Peter Walsh (of Simple Minds fame).[9] By this time the band had moved to England, and released their fourth album, Phoenix, on PolyGram in 1991;[1] after this album, Anka Wolbert and Pieter Nooten left the band[citation needed]; Xymox left PolyGram continuing alone with Ronny Moorings [10]to release Metamorphosis (1992) and Headclouds (1993) independently,[1] on his own X-Ult label.[11][12]
