A Secret Wish [25th Anniversary

Product Information

Yes, the opening nine-minute song featured Freytag’s haunting recitation of Edgar Allen Poe’s A Dream Within A Dream over rippling electro-percussion and wistful trumpet, but it was never less than sumptuously inviting. If the music balanced the harsh with the heavenly, the musicians employed came from pop (The Police’s Stewart Copeland, Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory), post-punk (Magazine’s John McGeoch) and prog: that’s Steve Howe of Yes providing the superb jazzy guitar solo for The Murder Of Love. Some of the latter is almost mellifluous.

Last don't least don't we forget: there were already all the counting synth-pop releases out by then in 1985! Depeche Mode was over with their first sampler LP and utilised incredible solutions sonic-timbred and bombastic drumming by then. Kraftwerk has introduced us the way of rhythmisation, the synth-sounds, drumsounds, elegance and transcendence. The Soft Cell was an immediate blast in 1981! Yazoo (Yazz)? No question: was a master. Human League was over with their best period. Alphaville showed us top-end of everything, icl. the drumming also. The Twins - Until the end of time (1985) was just incredible. Telex, Thomas Dolby, Yello was all much known by then... The new thing was here is the symphonic feel but (for me) was no consolation for the albums weaknesses.

In fact, if there is a criticism that could perhaps be leveled at this reissue, it's that by the 'p:Polish' version of 'p:Machinery' at the end of Disc Two, with its guitar showroom acrobatics, it's hard not to long for the concise, perfect vision of these songs familiar from the vinyl and cassette releases. There's a limit to the amount of indulgence one can take, after all, and to have four interpretations of what was pretty much immaculate on the album is perhaps overkill. But these bonuses are mere gravy: the meat is in A Secret Wish's analogue mix, and that's pretty much beyond criticism. Even accusations of pretentiousness are easily countered by the hints of camp cabaret dropped throughout: the deadpan Hollywood voice in 'Dr. Mabuse' ("Don't be afraid!") or, to be frank, Freytag's entire recitation of Poe's 'Dream Within A Dream'. a b "Discographie von Propaganda" (in German).

the changes that were made don't add too much, and Susanne's vocal on "A Dream.." sounds different. Another annoyance is the fact that on none of these releases the great non-vocal version of "Jewel" is used. It worked greatly as a prelude to "Duel", replacing it with the full vocal version just is a little bit too much because it IS the same song twice. It would have been totally ok if it had remained where it belonged: on the b-side of the DUEL 12" single or on special compilations. A Secret Wish has been reissued a number of times– including as a deluxe 20th anniversary edition and as a multi-channel SACD. The most recent re-release is the 2010 double CD deluxe edition which marks the album's 25th anniversary.
