Art Of Noise and Propaganda reissues

AON Influence coverPropaganda outside +

These were out last week, Propaganda’s classic ‘A Secret Wish’ is now remastered and expanded to 2 CDs with plenty of rare and unheard gems. The Art of Noise get a double CD set too with a great compilation of both ZTT and China-era tracks on disc 1 and remixes, rareties and unreleased cuts on disc 2.

One of these is the ‘Anne to Tears’ version of Moments in Love that I photographed when I visited the ZTT vault last year and props to Ian Peel for doing a sterling job on curating both releases. Also a tip of the hat to Philip Marshall for his excellent design skills, keenly referencing the artwork by XL and the London Design Partnership from the originals – reissues don’t get much better than this.  Even more of a joy for me is a mention of my ‘Raiding The 20th Century’ mix with Paul Morley in the sleeve notes of the Influence booklet :) Well I did steal it from Paul after he stole it from the Situationists. Buy them both from here

  1. Yeah ‘Liverpool’ is being done now for release next year, there are several things in the pipeline not got concrete details of all of it though

  2. These are both superb collections, expertly and lovingly curated by Ian, who has done yet another great job.

    I have also sought out your “Raiding Of The 20th Century” mix, and am currently downloading it. Can’t wait to hear it :)

    I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing what Ian comes up with next. 25th Anniversary of “Liverpool”, maybe?
