Claudia Brucken "This Happened" CD/DVD

[omar]

A live concert from last year available Aug.5 th on cd/dvd. Guests include Andy Bell, Glen Gregory and members of Propaganda. I'd personally prefer a new solo album or another collaboration as Onetwo.

I just received an advance copy and personally think it's a great item, even though I'd have preferred a new solo album too. Picture, sound and camera work are outstanding. As some of you may be aware, there were quite a few special guests. Andrew Poppy's contribution and the three Glenn Gregory duets ("Temptation", "Snobbery And Decay" and, lo and behold, "When Your Heart Runs Out Of Time") being particular highlights. Up-and-coming multi-instrumentalist Sam Sallon plays flügelhorn on "Dream Within A Dream", which sounds a little one-dimensional but is still a nice touch. I also love the credit "Jewellery for Ms Brücken and Ms Freytag by Susanne Freytag".

Tracklist is as follows:

Kiss Like Ether
Sequentia
Dr. Mabuse (with Susanne Freytag and Ralf Dörper)
Absolut(e)

Temptation (with Glenn Gregory and Martyn Ware)

I wonder how they performed Dream Within A Dream ? Since it has a completely solo spoken vocal by Suzanne and none from Claudia. Did they change it a little ?

After "In Dreams", Claudia exits the stage together with Poppy. The live version of "Dream Within A Dream" is a little shorter than the studio versions and leaves the main guitar and percussion solos pretty much intact. The focus is on Susanne and Sam Sallon. It clocks in at just under 7 minutes.

Thanks for the info.
