There’s a dog at my feet, whimpering, peeing in ecstacy, its tail beating the floor. The trash can is an approaching open mouth. My face, a pimpled harvest moon, hangs over the plate. On the TV, a red nosed clown walks into a pole. A wave travels down her throat as she swallows. Mom inserts a potato chip in her mouth and the mouth mashes down, moves from side to side as the chip is crushed and macerated. Kah! Kah! Hand on his mouth, forehead bunched.

Ha! Ha! Ha! From the TV den, dad raring back laughing so hard it gets his cigarette cough going. The spinach is a lonely wet pile with the pork chop bone poking it grotesquely. The food is in its final stages now, the corn glistening in a pool of pale yellow juice from the can, which is in the trash, already thrown away. There’s a heavy wet smell of heated canned corn and canned spinach. The lamp with a bad posture looks over insurance ledgers. I walk through the carpeted living room with its dusty closed blinds and Dad’s desk pushed against the window trapping the blinds that can’t open now when you pull their strings.

The Great Indie Discography found the album 'decidedly dated.stuck in a mid-80s groove', while the St. Although Twist of Shadows wasn't exactly considered industrial in its sound, the bpm's run mid-tempo and sound made it totally danceable in a New Order-ish way. While SPIN praised the album and called it 'still ethereal, big and foreboding', Trouser Press found the album 'easily endurable' but labeled the band 'just another lightweight electronic dance band of the post-romantic era'.

Billboard claimed the album, along with the followup Phoenix (1991), had lifted the band to cult status in the United States. There was a magical energy between us which resulted in some great music.' Reception Īccording to SPIN, Twist of Shadows signified the most sophisticated stage in the band's gradual evolution from arty obscurity into pop accessibility. To me, Xymox was never one of them by themselves, and I consistently believed in the strength of the artistic combination of us three. All the members even the manager at that time used to fight a lot about things like this.' Anka Wolbert reflected in an interview in 2005: 'The ‘old’ Xymox was always a combination and working together of three individuals: Ronny, Pieter Nooten, and myself. Also in 2010, Bert Barten claimed to have shared authorship for songs on Twist of Shadows, asserting 'It was always a big grey area who wrote what and who inspired who. Furthermore, the song bears striking resemblance to one of Nooten's other pieces, specifically a B-side 'Promises' also released from this album. Pieter Nooten, who last contributed to Xymox with the next album, said differently in 2010 that the members of the band had from the start collaborated in songwriting, with Moorings contributing guitar, keyboards and lyrics Nooten specifically claimed credit for composing Twist's 'Clementina'. Contrary to official songwriting credits (see Track listing below), lead singer and frontman Ronny Moorings told Premonition in a 2003 interview that he allegedly 'always wrote the music and the words self since the beginning of Clan Of Xymox in 1984'.
