"Thanks to the likes of Amazon.com and MySpace I found this artist again.

I was a big fan of her earlier band Propaganda back in the middle 80's and to a lesser degree ACT another formation she got into. She is still recording to this day with onetwo, another highlight.

A German singer who went to England, she has an unforgettable voice.

Some of her material I can hear Kate Bush in her vocal style and thats

not a bad thing considering Kate Bush seems to have backed away from her

recording career while raising her child. Claudia's music really got me

with the propulsive Propaganda style, industrial power pop and synth treaments dominate the music, one of the best of the 80's styles.

Love: and a million other things finds Claudia Brucken's first solo

collection a mix match of mostly synt/dance styles but I had hoped for

more aggressive sounds, still there are many quality songs here, "kiss like ether", "Absolut(E)", to name a couple. I'm sure this will grow on

me in the months ahead, it is a very highly regarded collection and the

price of this CD has gone over $100.00US dollars? I currently enjoy the

Oceanhead mixes she was involved in and the onetwo project shes touring

with co founder Paul Humphreys of OMD fame. A voice with very few peers."
