Claudia Brücken's Love: and a million other things rereleased as a 2CD

.




















Yes, after almost 20 years the rerelease is finally there!
As a double CD, with a lot of extra's.
Or, as Cherry Red Records states it:

'Expanded 2CD reissue of the only solo album to date from Claudia Brücken, electronic pop siren and lead singer of Propaganda, the band NME described as the 'Duel' in ZTT Records' crown.
* Originally released in 1991, the album includes the singles 'Absolut[e]', 'Kiss Like Ether' and 'Fanatic', cowritten with godfather of electronic music Thomas Leer, with whom Claudia formed the cult ZTT band Act in the late 80s.
* Cherry Red's expanded reissue includes the original album plus 10 bonus tracks covering all the singles, B-sides and remixes of the era.
* 'Love...' was produced by Pascal Gabriel who at the time was on the wave of massive success producing and cowriting Bomb The Bass' Beat Dis and S'Express' Theme from S'Express. But it was this album with Claudia Brücken that set the standard for every electronic diva that has followed in her wake all of which have been produced by Pascal Gabriel (Goldfrapp, Kylie, Dido, Little Boots, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ladyhawke).
* Other artists featured on the album include Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17), Steve Jansen (Japan), John Uriel (ABC, Thomas Lang), Steve Nye (Penguin Cafe Orchestra), and singers Claudia Fontaine and Carol Kenyon.
* Three tracks are released on CD for the first time, including Pascal Gabriel's promo-only 12" Bastille Mix of 'Absolut [e]' and the Earth Mood Magic in a Present Tense 12" mix of 'Kiss Like Ether' by John Waddell, whose remix credits range from Kylie to De La Soul.'
