Medusa is the second studio album by Dutch dark wave band Clan of Xymox. It was released in November 1986 by 4AD. Founding member Pieter Nooten re-recorded the songs "After the Call" and "Theme I" on Sleeps with the Fishes, his 1987 collaborative album with Michael Brook, following a brief split from the band. Medusa is seen by some critics as the group"s career high point. Sounds described Medusa as an "overriding achievement [...] every track sounds like the finale to a brooding epic overture".
