tell me how manny albums does this band have out?>
[edit] how to pronounce
loved this band for years, never knew how to say "x-mal" so i've never really talked about it with anyone.
- The "x" is pronounced in the same way as the last syllable in "polit-ics", and "-mal" (meaning "-fold" or "times") as in "mal-ediction". -- marilyn.hanson 12:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning of the name?
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)
