tell me how manny albums does this band have out?>
loved this band for years, never knew how to say "x-mal" so i've never really talked about it with anyone.
A German would say it 'ix mal' but in the UK they were always referred to as 'eks mal'...erroneously, I know, in the same way as Kraftwerk are wrongly pronounced by English speakers as 'craftwork' instead of 'craftverk'. Vauxhall1964 ( talk) 22:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
does anyone know why the group was named like that? Literally, it means "X times Germany" or "Germany x-fold". There is a slogan of the radical left in Germany, " Nie wieder Deutschland" - "Germany never again". I don't know whether the band name is paraphrasing or ironizing this slogan, maybe. Although the slogan became popular throughout the left around 1990, with the unification of Germany and the accompanying nationalistic hype; so I don't know whether it existed in 1980, when Xmal Deutschland began ... -- marilyn.hanson 12:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
There seem to be a lot of red links on this page at the moment: I'll give it a month or so, and then if nobody has created pages for any of them, I'll remove the links Dom Kaos ( talk) 22:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
