Propaganda

Propaganda are a German synthpop group, formed in 1982. They were one of the initial roster of acts signed to Trevor Horn's ZTT label, between 1984 and 1986, during which they released the critically acclaimed album A Secret Wish.

Propaganda was founded in 1982 by keyboard player Ralf Drper, programmer Andreas Thein and singer Susanne Freytag. In 1983, Claudia Bridges, also singer and classically trained percussionist Michael Mertens joined. The band was a group of contrasts: one singer was not a singer in her own opinion, and the other had one of the most charismatic voices of her time. On the one hand, propaganda drew its inspiration from the past, and on the other hand, her music, dominated by keyboards and percussion, sounded electronically futuristic. Although propaganda was overshadowed by the hype and sales of her label mate Frankie Goes To Hollywood, she created one of the most outstanding popoles of the 80s with their debut album 'A Secret Wish', released in 1985.
