Propaganda - Outside World - 06-Aug-03 06:25 AM
This CD could have been a brilliant release. It has the most appropriate title and feels like ZTT in the mid eighties. The release of all these 12" mixes and rare tracks was long overdue. One serious ommision was the Polish version of P:machinery (although this appeared on the T-empo remix CD). This is definitely a collection to dip in and out of not one to play from end to end. The biggest dissapointment to me was Complete Machinery which is the entire B-side of the P: Machinery (Beta Mix) 12" consisting of the introduction from the cassette, an instrumental seven inch version, frozen faces 12" version (which already appears earlier on the disc - madness) and the reprise to the Polish version (to add insult to injury). Not only this but the compilation is poorly executed. Listen to the beginning of Duel and Frozen Faces both are clumsily clipped. I'm glad it exists but come the time it is due for rerelease these silly mistakes should be rectified. The Germans had sense enough to include P:Machinery (Connected) instead. The first 1000 copies of this UK disc came with a DVD featuring five videos and two commercials in a silver gatefold digipak sleeve.
