Propaganda were from Düsseldorf/Germany, the German capitol of electronic music and the home of Kraftwerk. They were founded by Ralf Dörper who also was a founding member of Die Krupps who are legends in their own way, pioneering industrial music in the 80s and influencing latter industrial acts like Nine Inch Nails or Rammstein. Their singer Claudia Brücken was a couple with Paul Humphries from OMD for quite a while, they also had a project of their own called One Two. Dr. Mabuse is famous character from several classic German crime movies, the first Dr. Mabuse film was made by Fritz Lang, the director of Metropolis. And I second other comments here who say that this whole album is brilliant. It's one of the best albums of the 80s and you will definitely love it. Check out Duel or P. Machinery which were the other two singles from this album.
I listened to this track (first time listen) and was mildly interested, but reading your comment that there is a connection to Die Krupps made me sit up and pay extreme attention. I never expected that! (The CD of "III: Odyssey Of The Mind" was, at one point, a permanent fixture in my car stereo when CD players were a thing.)
@@christianmuller2091 Yeah, I saw them at WGT festival in Leipzig many years ago when they were freshly formed and had not enough material which ended up as a gig full with old OMD and Propaganda classics... that was awesome.
@@Reani71 Midnight Darkwave is also very good, i found it here on TH-cam. Music Style is like Blutengel, you know Blutengel? Midnight Danger is great Synthwave Music, i also found this on TH-cam. Test it out.
@@group-music Both great tracks thh, both quite different from each other, and both worth visiting. For what its worth, Duel was a lot more successful commercially.
I can't believe you're rifling through my record collection YET AGAIN! This is such a great album, you should do the whole thing. 80s revival, here we come!
There’s only one way to listen to this amazing creation and that’s the 12” extended version. This is a lesser “cropped” version. The original is also cool (look for it here in YT)…
Who remembers this from the iconic 1987 teen movie “Some Kind of Wonderful” with Mary Stuart Masterson, Lea Thompson and Eric Stoltz? Cool montage scene…
Per Wikipedia - Sylvian's demo "Sylvian's Machine" became Propaganda's single "p:Machinery", released in 1985. Singer Claudia Brücken stated that Sylvian helped them with his writing and musical skills on "p:Machinery", pretty much influencing the final structure and atmosphere of the piece.[
I've known this album since the year it was released, but I had no idea that John McGeoch played on it! (spoken "ghee-ock") He's one of my favourite guitarists 😊 Steve Howe plays a tasty solo on the song 'The Murder Of Love' 🙂 And I agree with many others here that the whole album is great 😀👍 Its opener 'A Dream Within A Dream' is my favourite 😊 I very much enjoyed your reaction, Justin! 😀👍
Love, love love this. The album A Secret Wish contains two of my favourite singles of the 80s: this and Duel, which is more conventional, but still a fabulous pop record. I think Claudia Brücken's voice is glorious, and I love the bit where she breaks into her native German (kein Zurück für dich), with a gorgeous little harmony. I was completely unaware of David Sylvian's involvement in this album, and I bought it at the time 🤔
Oh yes, true! 😀 Someone mentioned the '1234' album album around here, and I did remember that also Simple Minds' original drummer was in the band by then, but I'd totally forgotten that Derek was, too! 😅 And the two German ladies Claudia and Susanne had been replaced with Betsy Miller from the UK. Pretty underwhelming album, in my opinion. The single 'Heaven Give Me Words' was nice, though 🙂
I love this album! I have been meaning to recommend this for a long time. I would strart with the first track though (A Dream Within A Dream). There are endless versions and mixes of these tracks, but, in mho, for "A Dream Within A Dream" the original LP version is the best, with a slow build-up, but that one is hard to find in good quality online.
Evening Justin. Dave from Old England. Thanks for the name check, and apologies for not mentioning DS, the reason being that I don't know exactly where he features. As for Steve Howe, I think he plays the solo on The Murder of Love. Dr Mabuse is such a dramatic track, and bizarrely the Olympic champion ice dancers Torvill and Dean skated to it in their first professional touring show - and it was a risque S&M theme too (yes, really!). I also saw Propaganda live - and the driving drumbeats of Michael Mertens (a classical percussionist) were more overpowering than on record, but it worked brilliantly
@alfredvannetburg8871 - A friend of mine putting on the album at his home one evening in '98 and 'A Dream Within A Dream' blasting at Volume 11 and with full Bass making the whole place shake was a great experience! 😁👍
@@robboaron - I had '1234' on CD yonks ago, and the only song I can remember now is the single 'Heaven Give Me Words' and that I didn't like most of the rest of the album. Different singer, too! I'll revisit 'Ministry Of Fear' to refresh my memory, though! 😉👍
I remember this coming out, sounded like nothing else on the radio at the time while definitely sounding like it was from the production house of Trevor Horn (well, they were on his ZTT label). It sounds like an overture to a longer piece (an overture is a mash up of musical themes and phrases that appear in a longer musical piece, a sort of "in this episode" montage). Dr Mabuse is a Villain character from German Cinema, a bit of a Moriarty character, starting back in the silent movie era. Claudia Brücken gets a lot of attention among art music nerds. I do remember a group she was in called "Act" and an interesting single called "Snobbery and Decay" which was also odd and interesting.
Thanks for the reaction! This is one of the great albums. Every track is a killer. (Edit - you've driven me now to listen to the rest of the album 🙂, it's great to be reminded....... I don't want to single tracks out, everyone will have their favs, but if you don't at least try "Dream Within A Dream" or "Duel" you're missing out!)
David Sylvian wrote the synth arpeggio on the track "P:Machinery". Howard Jones and two of the members of Simple Minds also corrode and performed on the second album in 1990... "1234"
One of my all time favourite bands. A Secret Wish is one of the very best albums from the 80s, and still sounds like it's from the future. Trevor Horn was too busy with Frankie goes to Hollywood at the time, so passed production duties over to Steve Lipson who did a magnificent job. The girls and Steve recently reformed as X-Propaganda and released a worhy successor ( there was a 2nd Propaganda album, but there was an almost complete change of members. It was pretty good, but it wasn't Propaganda any more) A Secret Wish was so good it spawned 3 remix albums, and people are still remixing tracks to this day. Oh, and if you're going to do Duel, you simply have to do Jewel. They worked with 2 different producers - same song, very different sound. Duel is the sweet side, Jewel is the bitter side. Then there's Jewelled, Bejewelled, and Do Well which mix both together.
@@robboaron did you get the remix album? That's very good too, and very in keeping with the ZTT spirit. The only thing missing was a bunch of abstract quotes from Paul Morley.
Propagandas' label, ZTT, was the brainchild of former music journalist Paul Morley and released some interesting material, including Frankie Goes To Hollywoods' records. If you want to react to another ZTT artist, I suggest The Art Of Noise and their single "Close (to the edit)".
Also produced by Trevor Horn, which gives it a distinct "Art of Noise" feel to it. Love this song. Two great music videos for it if you want to check them out.
This album slaps. P Machinery is an amazing track. Highly recommend it. Strap in, it's an amazing song about East Germany's propaganda during soviet occupation.
Was into Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal, Reggie and Psychedelia duding the 80's and i think this was the first album i brought which introduced me to more electronica, I think Trevor Horn who Produced the Yes 90125 album had something todo with the production on it.
Oh this track and this album are so good, I still listen to it frequently. You got me, going to have to flash up my system and blast the album again! Sod my tinnitus! You have to listen to the rest of the album!
Totally remember this track, I was 16 when it was released and the song was played all day long on german radio... haven´t listened to it for decades, really... memories 🙂
Definitley do the singles p:Machinery and Duel! And, then you can move on to another ZTT gem - Art of Noise! Close (To The Edit), Beatbox (Diversion 1) and Moments In Love!
At that time when i heard there was nothing compareable and i loved it, like the whole album. You hear the style but also the other hits - Duel or P-machinery - are completely different to others. For me an epic album.
"Pain is a brain game". "This treatment is the cure". "The after-effects will soon subside". "This round of medication will make you feel better". "Nausea and vomiting are only temporary"-Lies told by Dr. Abuse, apparently "Propaganda"! That was terrific, sounds like an eclectic mix of musicians. Needs further research fer-sure! Peace and Love from The Cuckoo's Nest.
The german lyrics are translated in the next line, "There's no way back." If you liked this take a listen to "Kites" by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.
People in the UK always used to mispronounce the title as well... then in the last few years a couple of pro dancers with the surname Mabuse (Mah-boo-say) became very famous on "Strictly Come Dancing" (the UK original of "Dancing With The Stars") and now nobody has a problem pronouncing it anymore!
The very first record I ever bought on 12 inch and I still have it and love it now. Bought the album on the day of release which is probably in my top 10 records. Brilliant debut album, second album was sadly, not so much. I recommend listening to as much of ZTT productions as possible, probably my favourite record label. An album by Hoodlum Priest “Heart of Darkness “ is also an underrated masterpiece.
Well, step by step you're covering the whole thing! Although very successful at the time, Propaganda is not remembered as the major 80s bands (a certain eighties synth sound) are (Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, etc.). I wonder if it's because it had no continuity. Claudia Brucken released a solo album many years after the band ended. This is one of the most known songs from the album, but there are others. 😊 And I wonder... Will you ever, one day, step into Mecano (the Spanish ones)?
If you're going to explore Propaganda further, you have to go for the amazing "Duel" next, and go straight into "Jewel" afterwards, they're very much a pair... ... and just for fun, try Josef K's original version of "Sorry For Laughing" before listening to Propaganda's version, it's one of the best covers ever...
This is the music from before you was born, look how good it is! Shame Propaganda was never as famous as many other bands which was not even close to them in my opinion. Another shame they was circling around those few songs for then next few years and what they've done was releasing modified/remixed versions of the same songs over and over again. Regardless the Propaganda deserved their own place in the history of music. F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C!!!
Highly 80s. I reckon if I were old enough to be taking notice of this sort of thing at the time it was released, I would have liked it, listened to it when it came on the radio, but perhaps not actually saved up to buy anything of theirs.
As others here already mentioned, A Secret Wish is a banger of an album; should you react to the whole of it, I guarantee you're in for a great time (btw best greetings for 2024!)
We had the archetypal 80s sound with Frankie Goes to Hollywood the other day and now here's more of the same, only not quite as good. All you need is The Art of Noise and that's your 1984/5 soundtrack sorted.
@@Owlstretchingtime78 The 80s. Best decade for music. Post-punk, cold wave, new wave, industrial, neo-folk, electronic music and first wave of indie, shoegaze, etc. It is so diverse with tons of great bands. Way more diverse than the 70s, with their 3 same old bands...
I always confused Propaganda and Art of Noise... Somehow for me it's the same kind of production typical of these mid-80s. It's a bit interchangeable and it didn't make an impression on me when it came out nor today.
No! No, no, no! Art Of Noise were in a league of their own. With Anne Dudley's classical influence, there was always sure to be something much deeper in their music underneath all the Fairlight noodlings.
@@AriadneJCI try to lure him to listening to The Art of Noise - daft for such a long time. Sometimes I think it might be annoying ;-). Do the same. Recommend AON! It will totally blow his mind.
In the 80s and 90s you could listen to an artist's sound and say: "oh, this kind of post punk, alternative rock dance pop tell me they are from Factory Records". Or, "this noise guitars with soft vocals is certainly a Creation Records thing" " Jeez, this band is good, but so weird and bizarre, that I bet this is an obscure band from the crypts of the 4AD records. "gmmm, , eletro pop sound, with heavy industrial influence, non aligned sexual theme lyrics? It's from ZTT Records". Great time.to be alive.Unfortunately, this is all gone
The whole album is THAT good.
I actually like several of the other songs even better than this one! 😀
A Secret Wish is a masterpiece. Best synth-pop album ever imo.

One of my fave albums of the 1980s! "A Secret Wish" is one of those albums that you play from start to finish as one coherent work of art.
This and P-machinery are masterpieces!
This is one of the first CDs I ever bought and I still enjoy it to this day. They still sound amazing live.
Propaganda made one of the best singles of the 80s: DUEL.
Duel ;)

The best version of this is the extended version from the single. It has a highly euphoric addendum that takes it to a whole new level.

Definitely an album worth of a listen! Takes me back to my teenage years when I discovered it as I delved into the synthpop and industrial scenes.

Worth listening to the whole album
Both Propaganda and Frankie GTH came under the ZTT label, when FGTH took off, Propaganda were quietly dropped

In the 80s and 90s you could listen to an artist's sound and say: "oh, this kind of post punk, alternative rock dance pop tell me they are from Factory Records". Or, "this noise guitars with soft vocals is certainly a Creation Records thing" " Jeez, this band is good, but so weird and bizarre, that I bet this is an obscure band from the crypts of the 4AD records. "gmmm, , eletro pop sound, with heavy industrial influence, non aligned sexual theme lyrics? It's from ZTT Records". Great time.to be alive.Unfortunately, this is all gone
Wrong mood. Not the greatest. Good enough to hit like.
I heard their first album once, and once was enough. Nondescript, kraut synth dance pop..... heavy sigh!
I can outsigh you buddy! 😉
