I am also one of those obsessives who shelled out the better part of $100 a few years ago to get CD copies of Act, Claudia solo, and a few 12 inch records of hers that someone was parting with (including an autographed Kiss Like Ether box). Then I had to get the Act box when it was released a couple years later (of course). <br /><br />This new track is FANTASTIC--it has many of the musical elements that make her special: a hauntingly rich vocal, edgy bits of percussion, and sumptuous keyboards that seem to move in queasy chromatics suggesting discontent below the glassy surface. Way to go, Stephen Hague (I thought I had heard he was working with OMD at one point recently, but maybe Paul got him to work with the wife instead!) We need Hague back full time. Is he working on the Dubstar reunion as well? And could that really be Caroline Buckley? It does resemble her. Banderas were great--sad they didn't last longer.<br /><br />It's a shame really that Claudia has only put out something like four full length albums over the course of 25 years (Onetwo was pretty good). I cannot wait for this comp...She is our generation's Marlene Dietrich, after all.

Of course, my love for Claudia Brücken knows no bounds. [Just check out the background tile at my blog] For me, she is the female equivalent of John Foxx; an artist who has <i>never disappointed me</i>. That's a very exclusive club of <i>two</i>. Actually, John came close with Nation 12's "Electrofear," when I think about it.<br /><br />I already asked this question of the Brücken blog, A Little Sign, but they didn't know the answer, so I'll ask it here. This so-called Beta Wrap-Around of "p:Machinery;" is it the Beta Wrap as released on 12 ZTAS 21 or the alternate mix as on ZTT IQ6, "ZTT Sampled?" I hope its the latter as it has not yet managed to find its way onto a CD made by proper technicians in a clean room instead of just me.<br /><br />And kudos for dropping that news about the Salvo "Art of the 12"" comp! Please tell me that it will be a physical format.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-18585684336475359352010-12-22T12:04:54.222-05:002010-12-22T12:04:54.222-05:00I think you'll not be surprised that I ordered...I think you'll not be surprised that I ordered both of these lovely releases last night!
