<br />
I know, I know, it's been a bit quiet around here... and that's not because I lost interest in following Claudia's musical ways! A year ago I started to work with Paul and Claudia on the new look for their theremusic.com, and there's where all my C-devotion is still going, most of the time... So, if you'd like to stay up to date with all things Claudia, and Paul of course, please join me at <a href="http://www.theremusic.com/">There(there)</a>.<br />
<br />
I'll be back, sooner or later!<br />

Düsseldorf's municipal utility company (Stadtwerke) will host an event dedicated to the music of the 80s on 11 May at 7 p.m., not only to give 'Lena fever' a boost, but also to show that the old 80s heroes continue to thrill fans of all ages.</span>'<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xip3h_ohOdLnnpW00GoNj5AkhdB9xO-7tW9qG9PbRy2tAVR-0YCoowR99jzUmGT-G-AbFx6QMX3BTp5V6z4_aOZ9RcCUBhr7i4vI2b-OR6kqRHYiDWmnps3-Kan_vz7U9Fpq/s1600/turbinenhalle+duesseldorf.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xip3h_ohOdLnnpW00GoNj5AkhdB9xO-7tW9qG9PbRy2tAVR-0YCoowR99jzUmGT-G-AbFx6QMX3BTp5V6z4_aOZ9RcCUBhr7i4vI2b-OR6kqRHYiDWmnps3-Kan_vz7U9Fpq/s400/turbinenhalle+duesseldorf.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595527336782079730" border="0" /></a><span>'</span><span style="font-style: italic;">In the Stadtwerke's turbine hall in Flingern, at the very roots of the Düsseldorf energy company, former Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür will read from his book 'I was a Robot', with musical accompaniment from Thilo Schölpen, who will interpret some of the most famous Kraftwerk songs on the piano.

Propaganda's hit singles (Dr Mabuse, p:Machinery, Duel), her two singles as Act (Absolutely Immune, Snobbery & Decay), her 90s solo singles (Kiss Like Ether, Absolut(e)) both produced by Pascal Gabriel (Kylie, Goldfrapp, Ladyhawke), her 2005 duet with Andy Bell (Delicious)......combined with five brand new works: Night School and Thank You – two brand new solo tracks co-written with and produced by Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, New Order); This is Not America – duetting the David Bowie classic with Paul Rutherford (Frankie Goes To Hollywood); In Dreams – Roy Orbison's Blue Velvet soundtrack gem in collaboration with Andrew Poppy. On the album two tracks are included from Claudia's current band Onetwo: Sequentia (previously unreleased) and Cloud 9ine (a co-write with Depeche Mode's Martin L. Gore).<br /><br />Coming to prominence as the lead vocalist in ZTT’s influential hit-making Düsseldorf combo Propaganda, Claudia Brücken was one of the more distinctive female voices of the mid-1980s (and one of the few females to front a synth-pop group). Following the implosion of Propaganda in 1986, Claudia has enjoyed a distinguished career in the arena of electronic pop and dance music, alongside a series of highly talented collaborators, including Thomas Leer (with whom she formed the cult duo Act after leaving Propaganda), Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Paul Humphreys (OMD, Onetwo), Paul Rutherford (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) and Andy Bell (Erasure). This stylishly-packaged collection and very special LIVE show draws together the very best of Claudia’s work over the last 25 years.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">this time: it's Claudia Brücken</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WEDNESDAY 2ND MARCH 2011 LONDON SCALA</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 21st January 2011 and are priced £20.00 (subject to a booking fee) and are available from </span><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" href="http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/claudia-br%C3%BCcken-tickets">livenation.co.uk</a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">---</span><br /></div>sendalittlesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000648365035678198noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19023221.post-76250860400884037812011-01-01T16:12:00.004+00:002011-01-01T16:20:16.057+00:00Claudia Brücken and friends live on stageTwoThousandAndEleven is already getting better and better !!!<br /><br />From <a href="http://www.myspace.com/weareonetwo/blog/541486872">Onetwo's myspace</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#%21/pages/Onetwo/106510152747250">Onetwo's facebook</a>:<br /><br />'We start this immaculate new year with the exciting announcement that Claudia will promote the release of her brand new album <a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);" href="http://www.ztt.com/news/claudia_brucken_combined_2.html">ComBined</a> with a very special performance with very special guests at <a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);" href="http://www.scala-london.co.uk/scala/events.php">Scala, London</a>.

Following the implosion of Propaganda in 1986, Claudia has enjoyed a distinguished career in the arena of electronic pop and dance music, alongside a series of highly talented collaborators, including Thomas Leer (with whom she formed the cult duo Act after leaving Propaganda), Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Paul Humphreys (OMD, Onetwo), Paul Rutherford (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) and Andy Bell (Erasure). This stylishly-packaged collection draws together the very best of Claudia's work over the last 25 years (in ComBination with the artists mentioned above); beginning with a trio of Propaganda hits and bringing us right up to date with a couple of superb new songs written and produced by Claudia and super-producer Stephen Hague, which are released here for the very first time. An unusual artist with a distinctive voice and a perennially stylish approach, Claudia has never been one to follow trends and commands a loyal following among devotees of electronic music. Following our highly successful deluxe reissue of the Propaganda album A Secret Wish, ComBined is a timely reminder of her often understated talents; a release that oozes class, much like the lady herself.</span>'<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Tracklist</span><br /><br />1.

It's <strong>Suzanne Freytag</strong>, her former bandmate in 80s synth pop group <strong>Propaganda</strong>.<br /></div><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />"I told her we were talking about the past," she says in soft tones a few moments later, apologising for the interruption.<br /><br />Coincidentally it's their former group that we're due to discuss, and their classic debut album <strong>A Secret Wish</strong>, which is this month reissued in a deluxe edition to mark its 25th anniversary.<br /><br />Claudia joined the group in 1982, shortly after they were founded in Düsseldorf, Germany by <strong>Ralf Dörper</strong>, Suzanne Freytag and <strong>Andreas Thein</strong>. Suzanne "had a great speaking voice" and the trio had already recorded a demo but found they needed "another voice to do all the melodies". Suzanne thought of her then 18-year-old friend.<br /><br />"The Düsseldorf crowd, they all knew each other," remembers Claudia. "It's a small town atmosphere; everybody is in bands and knows the other one who's in bands."<br /><br />She jumped at the chance to "join the club".<br /><br />The first track Claudia sang on was <strong>Dr Mabuse</strong>, a tribute to the 1920s film villain who was a master of disguise. At the time it was "very hardcore" and "very German", she recalls, but in the hands of English record producer <strong>Trevor Horn</strong>, who signed the fledgling Propaganda to his new record label ZTT, it was to become a sizable European hit.<br /><br />"It had all the elements so when Trevor met us everything was in it," says Claudia. "But he's a great producer and he managed to accentuate those things. We translated it into English because we wanted to be internationally recognised."<br /><br />That was in March 1984. The problem the band faced was following it up. Britain was in the grip of 'Frankie-mania' and Trevor Horn was committed to producing <strong>Frankie Goes to Hollywood</strong>'s debut album, <strong>Welcome to the Pleasuredome</strong>.<br /><br />With the option on their record contract running out, Propaganda had to find another producer and crack on with their LP. In stepped <strong>Stephen Lipson</strong>, a musician and engineer who'd previously worked with Horn.<br /><br />He proved a good choice, says Claudia, doing "a wonderful job" in nurturing his inexperienced protégés, who by then had gone through a line-up change with Michael Mertens replacing Thein.<br /><br />At SARM West studios this "German band from an arty background" blossomed, thanks to "a limitless budget" and the willingness of <strong>Paul Morley</strong>, ZTT's co-founder and for a time Claudia's husband, to let the band experiment.<br /><br />Claudia recalls "having access to incredible musicians and machinery".<br />"<strong>Stewart Copeland</strong> one day walking in playing drums – how cool was that? It was all fun. From an experience point of view I thought it was amazing."<br /><br />At the end of each day, Horn, who was A Secret Wish's executive producer, would drop by and "demoralise us or inspire us" with his opinions on their work.<br /><br />Claudia evidently looks back on this creative period with fondness. "For me it was like winning a lottery," she says. "All these serious bands that I've known would have given their right hand to be produced by Trevor Horn. It fell in my lap. It was amazing."<br /><br />A Secret Wish was eventually released in July 1985, three months after the band's second hit single <strong>Duel</strong>. It reached No.16 in the UK and charted across Europe. Claudia remembers "Duel did really well in Italy and it captured the imagination of the Dutch people". Propaganda were also popular in France, Spain and their homeland – but not so popular that they were mega-stars.<br /><br />A Secret Wish's greatest legacy has been its consistent sales over 25 years.<br /><br />"What was special about this album was not that it came out and charted and everybody knew about it. It was very different. Years later people would say, 'Have you heard that album?' It kept selling well over the years."<br /><br />Sadly the band's time in the sun was rather more short-lived. Tensions began to mount over the "terrible deal" they had signed with ZTT. Efforts to renegotiate it were not helped, Claudia says, by "a manager who would just split us up all the time". In 1986 the rest of the band decided to leave the label; Claudia opted to stay because "I enjoyed working with them so much".<br /><br />Band-less, however, she felt lost, "even though I left them". ZTT encouraged her to form the duo <strong>Act</strong> with <strong>Thomas Leer</strong> but their debut album, <strong>Laughter, Tears and Rage</strong>, flopped. The great shame, she says, was that their single <strong>Snobbery and Decay</strong> was not a hit.<br /><br />"It was quite critical toward Thatcher. It was such a strong record. I was surprised how it was not received at all. I wonder whether my nationality had something to do with it – that they did not want a German to tell them about English decline."<br /><br />Claudia made a lovely but equally unsuccessful solo album, <strong>Love and a Million Other Things</strong>, in 1991 then disappeared from public view. "I became a single mum," she explains. "It was really hard to bring up a child on your own."<br /><br />She continued to dabble in music, however, recording with <strong>Barry Adamson</strong> and the Bristol band <strong>Startled Insects</strong> ("they make music for animal programmes") but sadly neither was released. In 2005 she made covers album with the pianist <strong>Andrew Poppy</strong> and also appeared on albums by Erasure singer <strong>Andy Bell</strong> and Depeche Mode's <strong>Martin Gore</strong>.<br /><br />In 2007 she paired up with <strong>Paul Humphreys</strong> of <strong>Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark</strong> on the album <strong>Instead</strong>. Their band, <strong>Onetwo</strong>, had been instigated by "a lovely A&R guy" at the German label Logic and continues to last. In between Humphreys' work with OMD, they're currently writing a follow-up.<br /><br />Its release, though, has been temporarily put on hold while Paul helps work on Claudia's 'best of' album, due out next February. "Paul is remixing some Onetwo tracks for it," she says. "I'm also working with <strong>Stephen Hague</strong> on some new songs which are going to appear on the album as well."<br /><br />Despite the difficult climate in the recording industry, the 46-year-old singer is enjoying working once more.<br /><br />"We were very spoilt in the 80s, we had everything," she notes. "Now it's so different. Especially for bands from the 80s it's a big shock... From unlimited budgets that I had, to finance it yourselves it's testing, but I love what I'm doing."<br /><br />The re-release of A Secret Wish may at least help financially.<br /><br />"I've a feeling that it was something special for people," she says of the album's lasting impression. "I still get lovely letters and emails. I know it has been an album that's influenced people. I did not know it at that time, but Suzanne and I were quite tough. There were all these smiling girls and we were the dark side. Our first rule was 'never smile'.<br /><br />"What I love about A Secret Wish," she adds, "is it's a journey. It's not just 12 songs in a particular order. Some things sound dated now but it's a nice fantasy. It still carries that weight. It would be nice if it could reach a younger audience."<br /><br />A Secret Wish: deluxe edition is released on July 19.'</span>sendalittlesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000648365035678198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19023221.post-68765405691249899402010-07-27T21:00:00.004+00:002010-11-09T07:29:30.788+00:00A Secret Wish re-enters the UK charts at its 25th anniversaryPropaganda's A Secret wish just re-entered the UK charts at #92, at the exact same position it left 25 years ago.
