5.0 out of 5 stars Transcendent Synth, February 20, 2009

By	REBEL (Miami Beach FL) - See all my reviews

(I like this album so much that I sought out and am herewith reproducing my review from the discontinued 1984 CD version!)

" 5.0 out of 5 stars: Transcendent Synth, April 9, 2005 "

The absolute apotheosis of 80s synthesizer music. One of my favorite and most-listened-to albums by anyone, ever. Atmospheric, expansive, compelling. Redoubtable, riveting; full of miraculous chordal progressions which almost seem to defy logic, gravity, and all previous musical exploration. Sounds crazy? Nope, it's really that good. A work of undisputed genius.

Propaganda never again reached this peak ...But then neither did anyone else.

Miss "A Secret Wish" at your peril!

5.0 out of 5 stars The hype is true: THIS IS A SYNTH POP MASTERPIECE, May 14, 2008

By	insoc (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

I read in a Q MAGAZINE synth pop special about how great this album was and that it was considered a essential synth pop album. All the reviews on amazon.com agreed. Given that I boughth the album and I can only say: WOW! What was the last time you heard an album for the first time and song after song perfection you wish the album would never end? This only happens with a few albums, those considered masterpieces. Well, there you have it. From the first chords of the very first song you will know you are hearing something special. I love all the songs! If you are a fan of Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Depeche, etc. you will instantly fall in love with this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visionary! One of my favorite albums ever, November 25, 2007

By	Avner Shemi (New York, NY, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Propaganda joined the ranks of Kraftwerk in the electronica hall of fame with 'A Secret Wish' -- one of my favorite albums ever. The album symbolizes 80s pop/goth excess in the best way, and not without humor, but is visionary in production values and still sounds fresh. "Dr. Mabuse" and "P:Machinery" are standout tracks in this cohesive, even narrative, album.
