Propaganda

#1 Post by katierc »

Anyone?

Nearly 30 years later, their music is still marvellous... Dr Mabuse, Jewel/Duel, P Machinery, Dream Within A Dream... classic listening.

"The memories of gone by times"

Divine blissful listening.

Recently received "Noise And Girls Come Out To Play - A Compact Introduction To..." and ordered Claudia Brucken "This Happened: Live at the Scala [CD+DVD]" and awaiting it's delivery.

Greetings Katie,

Did you hear Delicious by Andy Bell, with Claudia Brucken? It's arguably Andy's best (non-Erasure) song, and Claudia sounds good in it.

If you were to suggest 2 Propaganda songs to sample, where would I start?

Retro. :)

Duel and P-Machinery. But the whole of Secret Wish is a total masterpiece. Get that and ignore the billion cynical compilations like this new Noise And Girls Come Out To Play.

That is my favorite track from that album as well.

Maybe it's on the Scala CD/DVD I just received. Need to find some time to watch/listen.

But wondering how one could sample a Propaganda song when so many were remixed beyond belief and almost seemed to sample themselves.

I've heard bits and pieces on youtube and have known Dr Mabuse for years. Wouldn't mind getting hold of the re-issued album sometime. They don't build em like that anymore. The video for p:machinery is pretty freaky.

I love Propaganda, and agree that their A Secret Wish album is just a fantastic. I have several versions of the album, but nothing else. Are their other albums recommended? I have bought Claudia's "Love" album when it was reissued as a two-cd set last year or so, and am very likely going to buy the Scala set.

Another Propaganda/Claudia lover here...I was buying all their re-releases lately (CDs and DVDs) and really enjoying them.
The world of 12" releases, mixes and remixes from them (and may other ZTT related artists) is a thrilling puzzle and seems to be neverending. I always tried to collect all of them (at least in digital format) and sometimes I feel like I'm near the end, but then I discover It´s just an illusion...I like that! :D
This is not my signature.

Looks like they're back. Well, sort of. They're called xPropaganda and it's Claudia Brucken and Susan Freitag only. They just released a new track for their forthcoming album The Heart Is Strange, produced by Stephen Lipson and released on ZTT.

Also the OneTwo 2007 album "Instead". Claudia Brücken and Paul Humphreys. Some awesome tracks on that.
