"I have also done a brand new and EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with PROPAGANDA's CLAUDIA BRÜCKEN to mark the 25th Anniversary of one of my all time favourite albums, 'A Secret Wish' (which is reissued on Monday in a 2-CD edition with loads of bonus material, see NEWS for the full tracklisting!) which is online for you now. It was an absolute pleasure to do and I managed to cover a lot of the questions you emailed over for me, and if you're a fan of Claudia, of Propaganda, or of OneTwo then it's well worth a read, even if I say so myself!" |
