[@Thomas.deNorth]

One of the best albums from the 80´s!

[@groovymcnasty]

I think I wore out 2 copies of this cassette in my car, an amazing album. I’ve never seen the videos and not sure I am any better off after seeing one, lol. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Dream within a Dream is my favourite, but at 7 mins may be a wee bit long for reaction.

[@geraldthesaint5457]

Amazing timeless music

[@colin...101]

My God. One of the best groups. Seen them live in England 1986. Listen to the words so ready for today.👍🇬🇧

[@michealmccann]

Another truth, installed by the machine. yep, spot on.

[@leroyrs]

This song is fire and was a banger in the clubs those days. It represents some of the crazyness, coolness and Zeitgeist of the 80s. The synths hit you out of the blue. What an amazing music arrangement. The video is pretty weird but it fits 😉

[@kuraikabe5211]

my favorite album from the 80´s

[@seriouspleasures]

It was *everything* for fourteen year old me! ❤

[@JoeJohn777]

European sound! One of my favorite back in 1985 i was 13 years old...........

[@paulf2557]

You really should check out more from Propaganda. "A Secret Wish" was just the best album ever - Claudia has such a great voice, perfect even live.

[@angelrogo]

Dr. Mabuse, Duel, Dream Within a Dream, Jewel... A masterpiece!

[@bazkeen]

A new one for me. Totally missed this one in the 80s. Good one guys

[@jasonkraley]

wow, Propaganda! 1985 classic of the industrial (German) music movement, signed by Trevor Horn (thank you for "The Art Of Noise") to be possibly the only album that i pursued on cassette & vinyl in 1994 by recommendation of a friend.. the entire album is brilliantly diverse! the CD's opening track "Dream Within A Dream" is an incredible song whose lyrics are the poem/story by Edgar Allan Poe! then the raw industrial exploration of sampling is evident in "Jewel ": beautifully raw cut lyrics vs screaming, then there's the song you review (in its numerous versions), the classic German-esque "Sorry For Laughing", & their infamous "Dr. Mabuse" (again, in all its various versions into darker, industrial explorations in subject matter).. this song is oddly my least favorite because of its almost cliche version trying to reach radio reception, but i highly recommend checking the original CD "A Secret Wish".. they revisited their music in many iterations: "Wishful Thinking" (whose opening instrumental opens the movie "Some Kind Of Wonderful"), "Outside World", & the reissued/remastered "A Secret Wish" double album.. sadly, they only made a sequel album "1234" without the main German vocalist Susanne Freytag resulting in a strange "attempt at pop-ish acceptance" of an album.. there's possibly 2 decent tracks on that album, one being "Ministry Of Fear" whose lyrics are a brilliant interrupted/cut up "argument" overlayed on a moving instrumental song of its own right, (in my opinion).. thank you for your reaction!

[@lancenorthey7205]

A really great band who made lots of dramatic music for people who wore lots of black. Love them

[@mcolford]

They had one album... it was fantastic. They were German, and produced by Trevor Horn of Frankie Goes to Hollywood fame. You should definitely check out their other big hit (in England and Europe) called Duel.

[@marcblokpoel]

They had a second album called 1,2,3,4. I don't know if it was released outside Europe, but i had both albums....

[@1963Victory]

The first album was not produced by Trevor Horn

[@seriouspleasures]

48 channel studio in 1985? That's some expensive music production!

[@Mingus8]

German timless industrial futuristic pop from mid 80s. They were at least ten years ahead of its time here.

[@salty_commuter819]

Listening to this while watching the electoral chaos for POTUS.........just makes sense

[@deadmengods]

Trevor Horn was very involved in this. He's known for being a member of Buggles and Yes but even more for being the producer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys, ABC, Seal and many more.

[@CosmicD]

the music of that song is really like made in the future, it still sounds very distinct and on point right now, it survived the 80s , 90s and the more electronic adventures of the new milennium and still sounds good in 2024

[@notmyrealname1730]

Propaganda was one of my favorite synthpop bands from the 80s. They're not known in the mainstream world of music, but if you were in one of the very few cities that had a radio station dedicated to new wave, (KROQ in LA; 91X in San Diego; KCGL/KJQ in Salt Lake; there was one in Seattle and one in Boston (not sure the call letters) and that's all I know of), they were very well known. The album, A Secret Wish, has great music including this and their most well known song, Duel. Claudia Brücken, the lead singed went on to be in another band called Act. They have a great song called Absolutely Immune. (Propaganda and Act sound the same because of Brücken). Explore this band a bit and give Absolutely Immune a try.

[@scable-eq7bp]

That was cool, has a Madonna vibe to it.....

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

she has a remarkable voice. would be interesting to know how she sings live.

[@craigjones9372]

Check out Act - Laughter, Tears and Rage. Same singer, done after this. Also an excellent album.

[@geraldthesaint5457]

She’s fantastic live. Same voice and tune.

[@ayreon128]

Propaganda - one of the best bands of 80-ies! (at least in Europe) and Trevor Horn as a producer was doing magiccs at that time - Frankie Goes To Holiwood- "Liverpool", Yes "90125"

[@TheEuronaut]

they were way ahead of their time.

[@petecogan1]

Looks like her costume was made by Aurora.

[@petecogan1]

I mean that in a good way

[@Lofote]

She wasnt even born back then 😅

[@RenevolutionAccount]

MEGA !

[@stefanlast]

Thanks for doing this one! If you want to see more Propaganda I would suggest checking out their debut single "Dr Mabuse". The song was produced by Trevor Horn who then went on to produce Frankie Goes To Hollywood, handing over the production of Propaganda's first album to Stephen Lipson (who did a brilliant job of it, I might add). The Nosferatu-themed video for "Dr Mabuse" was one of the first videos directed by Anton Corbijn, he's since done videos for Depeche Mode, U2, Nick Cave, Nirvana and many more.

[@stevenhopwood8195]

Have no clue about this band, first time hearing. Thought it was okay but not my style ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺

[@alexanderfinz1297]

The Version with Frankie goes to Hollywood is absolute Top. Check it out.

[@scable-eq7bp]

Please do a reaction to Anthens Creek performing "THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN".... This is a really good one.

[@BCTMarcus]

Claudia Brücken (still) has the best nose in pop music history.

[@franckmedina3346]

GROUP GERMAN

[@antodane]

Questi continuano a ridere. Certo che i video degli anni 80 erano ridicoli. Lo sappiamo anche noi. Peccato che a noi adesso venga invece da piangere ad ascoltare la musica del terzo millennio. Che è decisamente peggio.

[@jplanghoor-beitia]

Missing you on Mylène Farmer... Never more ? She has so great videoclips...

[@MikeandGinger]

We love her, but it takes a long time to get her songs thru copyright blocks.

[@jplanghoor-beitia]

@@MikeandGinger check all her video clips and hope you will be able to react to somes ! Thanks for what you do!
