About the Album
Medusa is the second studio album by Dutch dark wave band Clan of Xymox. It was released on 1 November 1986 by 4AD. Founding member Pieter Nooten re-recorded the songs “After the Call” and “Theme I” on Sleeps with the Fishes, his 1987 collaborative album with Michael Brook, following a brief split from the band.
Medusa is seen by some critics as the group’s career high point. Sounds described Medusa as an “overriding achievement every track sounds like the finale to a brooding epic overture”.
Melody Maker wrote, “Sleek, efficient, even dramatic, Xymox understand the value of a direct understatement a bright flash of hope in these blackout days”.
