Xmal Deutschland

Xmal Deutschland were a post-punk band from Germany that sounded like a perfect hybrid of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Cocteau Twins.  Sadly, they never garnered the attention they deserved and by their final album, 1989's "Devils" most of the original members had gone.  They had a bit more rhythmic kick than most 4AD groups, but still fit pretty well with the stereotypical 4AD sound.  Highly recommended.
