I'm genuinely excited for this (which doesn't happen much these days)! Ordered the double CD version on the strength of the track on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6KEp_Z5cLg), and a glowing review from Superdeluxeedition.com

If this sells anything like the recent SDE-exclusive Tears For Fears Blu-Ray for their new album it will sell out quickly. That one sold out within 24 hours. Limited to 1,000 copies so act fast.

I went to the shop <24 hours later. The BR+CD bundle was sold out. The CD was sold out. But the BR alone was still available. I don't have a BR player or Dolby Atmos anything, but I bit the bullet and bought one on the credit card. What the hell.

once you get it, resell it, and then buy the cd. that way you can recoup your costs,
and maybe make a profit too.

2018 I think. If you search for xPropaganda on YouTube you will find some very good quality recordings of full gigs...

Totally agree - I've given both the vocal and "non-vocal" versions a few listens now, and am very impressed.

Everybody giving rave reviews (or at least it seems so), so I was eager to listen to the first two promo videos available on Youtube
and must admit that I am not very impressed. Sounds very generic & uninspired to my ears.
Maybe the album is a better listening experince......I certainly hope so.....

Anyway, it seems to make the heart & soul of the Propaganda sound has always been mr. Mertens (or it is the other one?), in combination with the masterful production of Lipson + Horn......

"xPropaganda’s album “The Heart is Strange” has entered the UK Album Charts at number 11". Not bad at all.

grumbling that the pop stars of the past do not sound today like in your younger times is a distinctive feature of becoming old............

Quite a few musicians of their age do such a hype and driving music like they do.
