New Propaganda album - 10/11/24 (80's German synth-pop band)
In 2022, Claudia Brücken and Susanne Freytag of Propaganda released a new album to rave reviews called "The Heart is Strange" under the name xPropaganda. Claudia was the lead singer and Susanne was a backup vocalist and keyboard player in the original line-up. They couldn't use the name Propaganda for legal reasons, hence the "x". The success of "The Heart is Strange" must have caused some jealousy and lit a fire under the other two original members (Michael Mertens and Ralf Dörper). Because they quickly regrouped and recorded their own album under the name Propaganda with guest singers. I'm assuming Merten and/or Dörper owns the name of the band. The self-titled new album is out on 10/11/24 and these three songs have been released so far. I posted a separate thread when "The Heart is Strange" came out and posted a few YouTube clips. Merten and Dorper's new music is quite good, but xPropaganda's production was far superior. I don't know why these four talented people can't all make music together anymore. Their debut album "A Secret Wish" in 1985 was a masterpiece. Thoughts on these?
