An amazing companion to the best-known work of Art Of Noise – a 4CD package that features 41 previously unreleased tracks, remixes, and demos from the archives of ZTT Records – plus an additional 15 tracks that have already appeared before! The set captures the group at their best – a time when they were still working with Trevor Horn, and managing to come up with creatively funky and sonically mindblowing numbers that fused hip hop production, electronics, and some of the chunkier pop work that Horn had been doing with bigger groups at the time. The book-like package features 36 pages of notes on the work, with track by track commentary from all original group members – and the 56 tracks include "Once Upon A Lime", "War (demo 2)", "Confession", "Who's Afraid Of Scale", "Moments In Love (12" b side idea)", "Tears Out Of A Stone", "Samba #2", "Fairlight In The Being", "The Chain Of Chance", "Close (To Being Compiled)", "Focus Of Satisfaction", "It Stopped", "The Uncertainty Of Syrup", "The Long Hello", "The Vacuum Divine", "Goodbye Art Of Noise", "The Army Now", "That Was Close", "Love Beat", and "A Time To Hear (Who's Listening)".

One of the great lost moments in the career of Trevor Horn – and the only real full album from Propaganda! The group have an approach that has bits of the Art of Noise love of sound texture, and which also seems to borrow a bit from the German electronics of the early 80s – but fuses the groove into a more straightforward Factory Records-ish sort of sound. A few tunes get a bit hokey at times, but there's also some great numbers here that were key crossovers in the later wave of the 80s import invasion to American club – and which played well in the Chicago house scene. Tracks include "Dream Within A Dream", "Murder Of Love", "Jewel", "Del", "P-Machinery", "Sorry For Laughing", "Dr Mabuse", "Chase", "Last Word/Strength To Dream". Plus, this 2CD edition features loads of great stuff – lots of the remixes and rare singles that always made the group's music so great – including analogue variations on "Dream Within A Dream", "Duel", "P Machinery", "Dr Mabus", and "Last Word" – plus "mutations" and rare mixes and unreleased takes on "Testament One", "Do Well", "Thought", "The Chase", "Echo Of Frozen Faces", "Testament Three", and "Die Tausend Augen Des Mabuse".
