X-mal Deutschland

X-mal are essentially two LPs, Fetisch ad Tocsin (which makes you think the members were more talented when it came to music than spelling). Musically bleak 80s Goth which is awfully angular for 4AD.

I suspect their career stretched beyond the 15 months between the 2 LPs but few would recall how.

Formed Hamburg Germany 1980, 4AD webpage devoted to the band here. 

X Marks the Pedwalk

Quite a light electro sound albeit with that crunchy growly vocal delivery

Working through “Zoth in your mind,” it is evident how little Zoth Ommog I actually own. Much sounds of its times but that was still pretty cutting edge in the early 90s. X Marks are a little less full on than some of their label mates with less of a feel of distortion and more considered build ups

X-Perience

Like a Steeleye Span of Goth or Mike Oldfield if he’d put electro drums on Moonlight Shadow

XPQ-21

Atmospheric hard electro/EBM. Some minor success in the German alternative charts apparently.

Xylon
The only thing I can say for definite is never become a Xylon groupie. Their own CD (or at least Moon cafe) declares never make love with us. If you did I imagine it would be dull slow and clinical, myeeooh! What can I say, music to fall asleep to

Xymox (Clan of)

Originally signed to 4AD and performed accordingly before going a bit more electro dance as the 90s and new labels took hold.

Early releases such as Medusa are very much Clannad meets This Mortal Coil
