Xymox on North American tour; reissuing 'Twist of Shadows'

Xymox's 1989 album "Twist of Shadows" has been remastered and is being reissued on limited double vinyl (500 translucent red; 500 black) on Nov. 9 and as a double CD set on Dec. 7 with bonus tracks via Pylon Records. 

This expanded release includes the club hits "Obsession" and "Blind Hearts," along with several rare 12" mixes and B-sides. A couple of the tracks have string arrangements by producer Tony Visconti, who was responsible for several of David Bowie's landmark releases. The two LPs are housed in a gatefold jacket complete with lyrics, and the artwork was designed by Vaughan Oliver of 4AD fame. The album sold over 300,000 copies and was their first on a major label. The 2-CD remaster also contains 10 bonus tracks in all with some very rare 12" mixes and B-sides which have never been available on CD. Click here to pre-order.
