Short lived collaboration between Propaganda vocalist, Claudia Brücken and cult favourite Electro pioneer, Thomas Leer. The pair released a handful of smart singles and an album before deciding to cut and run. Satirizing the glitz and indulgence of the entertainment industry, the first release, Snobbery and Decay, came at a time when perhaps the public had grown weary of ZTT's promotional style and just didn't 'buy' it. Ultimately, the duo suffered the cynicism of the industry they lampooned.

Wonderful album, extremely colorful with exciting instrumentation, very versatile compositions, yet held together by Stephen Lipson's mastermind. Powerful and vivid movements. Synth-pop of the best kind. I prefer it over the Propaganda what was a bit rudimentary compared to this one. Thomas Leer's appearing voice is just perfect, but Claudia Brücken never was sooo good, nor since. Highest recommendation, even more for ZTT-artists fans. Interestingly the LP version contains a half minute long interplay with singing. Original piece and based on the I can't escape from you sounds. It isn't included on the German CD, nor on the 3-CD box set! The Original design was very georgeous, Claudia was very nice on it. Reissue isn't that good but has incredible amount of mixes and not yet released material! GREAT! Pity, the recording soundquality is as poor as usual on the other ZTT stuff of the mid-80's. Watch-out: there are multiple remix versions were released on some Art of 12" issues which are NOT appearing in the Act catalogue!!!
