@@shanesworld6363 Ha! I was going to say something like that. They're great because of their performance abilities. Of course, we all notice their eye appeal, but that's far second to their singing. I will say tho that they're not the best dancers, but then....they're German, ya? lol! Remember Sprockets on SNL?
Unbelievable. Bought an orange tape, the original back in the days in Italy. After all this time, here in USA, listening it once in a while, , and I see myself thinking, something like this is a masterpiece. Best version, IMHO, the original.
Suzanne and Claudia are really "iconic" specially in that concert and this throbbing hypnotic music with the dramatic and nostalgic leitmotiv at once ,six notes only....
Claudia Brücken und Susanne Freytag hatten es schon raus. Und der Rest der Band aber auch. Eine zeitlos tolle Musik. Gerade das unterkühlte der Protagonisten ist einfach herrlich.
Ging mir auch so.... ich hatte mir Ende der 80er die CD geliehen und auf Kassette kopiert, wobei Dream within a Dream auf der Rückseite am Ende landete, die ich kaum mal eingelegt habe. Irgendwann höre ich sie komplett durch und falle aus allen Wolken. Bis heute einer meiner absoluten Lieblings-Songs!
Het was dan ook een stereo testuitzending. Het stereogeluid was net geïntroduceerd bij de Nederlandse tv. Na Propaganda kwam een optreden van OMD. De opbrengst was voor Greenpeace.
I remember a loong time ago I went with a friend to their concert in Paris. We were talking about simple minds and how I missed Derek Forbes playing with them... Imagine my surprise when I saw propaganda with the Derek Forbes 😳😂 and the concert was completely wild and great 👍😅
How did American miss this guy? I sang and played in nightclubs all though the 80s, always looking for that next song to sing and this band never showed up on VH1 on MTV?
A fabulous moment in time.... slightly.... perhaps more than slightly.... tarnished by a poor sound engineer and a rubbish vision director. Whoever called the cameras didn't do their homework - and the sound engineer suffered from a 'oh look, there's someone on the mic.... might fade it up in a minute..... oh wait... feeeeedback!' kind of situation. Also, from a stage performance point of view.... we kinda needed the trumpet for this song.... like..... perhaps more than 'kinda'..... yeah.... we totally needed the trumpet. I guess it was a money thing. This song, featuring a gut wrenching and massively powerful poem by Edgar Allan Poe, is one of the best songs in the world ever recorded. And Trevor Horn (who produced the staggering album recording) is one of the biggest production prodigies the world has ever seen. Just my opinion of course.... but actually, I'm right all the same!
How? This one is a magnificent track, sure, but the rest of the album is in a different musical universe, I don't want to disparage it, it's an acquired taste. To become bigger than DM, you have to put out 14 coherent, inventive albums with at least 3 great songs each. I doubt I'll live long enough to see someone topple that. I'd love to though.
@@diosivor i mean if they could make more albums. My english is bad and i didnt want to mean they are better than DM. But they had the potential to fill stadiums if they would have the chance to make more albums.
