"I have also done a brand new and EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with PROPAGANDA's CLAUDIA BRÜCKEN to mark the 25th Anniversary of one of my all time favourite albums, 'A Secret Wish' (which is reissued on Monday in a 2-CD edition with loads of bonus material, see NEWS for the full tracklisting!) which is online for you now. It was an absolute pleasure to do and I managed to cover a lot of the questions you emailed over for me, and if you're a fan of Claudia, of Propaganda, or of OneTwo then it's well worth a read, even if I say so myself!"

Featuring the hit singles Duel, Dr. Mabuse and p:Machinery and produced by Trevor Horn and Steve Lipson, this is the album that inspired a generation of synthpop, dance and electronica.

This deluxe edition includes the original album plus all of the cassette/vinyl-only mixes on Disc One, complete with guest appearances from David Sylvian, Steve Howe and Glenn Gregory. Disc Two adds a wealth of bonus material including the complete, unexpurgated 20-minute cassette mix of Duel, Trevor Horn's previously unreleased Thousand Eyes... remix of Dr. Mabuse, a works-in-progress version of The Chase, and a previously unreleased 12" remix of Sorry For Laughing by Paul Morley.

Cited as a major inspiration by Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, Propaganda's A Secret Wish continues to send ripples through pop music. Some might know Dr. Mabuse as the first ever video by Anton Corbijn. Others the classic film soundtracks like Luc Besson's Subway (Murder of Love) and John Hughes' Some Kind of Wonderful (Dr. Mabuse). Pop fans might know Duel from the recent cover by Sophie Ellis-Bextor...

However you know it, get to know it again. A Secret Wish is catalogued at 11 in the element series, and is available to order now.

Release Date: July 19, 2010
