Propaganda 'A Secret Wish' Many years on and I still can't get used to the CD edition will have to dig out the vinyl of it soon!

Hi Garry,

What's wrong with the CD edition?
(I've never had the vinyl)

Cliff Martinez - the Solaris soundtrack

Hi Brian,

I think I'm just used to the flow and feel of the original vinyl edition better. There are many CD editions, the one I have is the Repitoire edition with the DVD. It has the extended version of 'Dr.Mabuse' - which I don't think works as well as the UK album version, and 'Frozen Faces' - an OK b-side, but not an album track. It also puts Mabuse at the end of the album when the final track should be 'The Chase/Strength To Dream' as this book-ends the album nicely with the opening track 'Dream Within a Dream'

I wish there was an edition with their cover of 'Femme Fatale'! Over the past few years ZTT have released box-sets of Act, Andrew Poppy and AoN - would be nice to see a Propaganda one.

CD (Repitoire enhanced edition)

UK 1985 Vinyl edition

A - Dream Within a Dream, The Murder of Love, Jewel, Duel.

I dont have that edition.

I think I have the first CD edition:-

Dream within a dream
The Murder of Love
Jewel
Duel
Frozen Faces
P-Machinery
Sorry for Laughing
The Chase
Dr Mabuse

Dont know if Mabuse is a different mix.

I also have the 2 albums of remixes Outside World & Wishful thinking.

Depeche Mode - Speak And Spell

I 'rediscovered' Kraftwerk's Radioactivity.

Must admit it is better than I remembered it to be.

It's my favourite Kraftwerk album, Maryann. Ooh, shortwave radio. NICE!!

yesterday it was BILL NELSON: CHIMERA

On the vinyl edition, Mabuse is 5min long. On my CD it's 10min with the 'Strength to Dream' bit tagged on the end. 'Jewel' on the vinyl is semi-instrumental, whereas the CD edition has most of the vocal.

I've got Wishful Thinking - no difference between that and the vinyl. Not got 'Outside World' yet - is it worth getting?

The Pleasures of Electricity, this morning...
