In 1987, now abbreviated as Xymox, they released their second and last album on 4AD, Medusa, before signing with PolyGram.
The band began to sound more accessible, their third album, Twist of Shadows (Polygram, 1989), being described as "electro-pop" but judged to sound "decidedly dated." The album's artwork was done by Vaughan Oliver, and Tony Visconti provided string arrangements. In the United States, Twist of Shadows, and its successor, Phoenix, were released by Wing Records, a subsidiary of Polydor Records, and these two albums created a US cult following for the band. A track from the album, "Blind Hearts," was a college and club hit in the United States, charting on the Club Play Chart. By this time the band had moved to England, and released their fourth album, Phoenix, on PolyGram in 1991; produced by David M. Allen. In 1998 Clan of Xymox got signed by Metropolis Records in the USA, at a time of increasing US interest in the band, and released Creatures.
