Propaganda (The Sound album)
Propaganda is the last studio album by English post-punk band The Sound, although it comprises the earliest material that they recorded. The album was released in 1999, more than 10 years after the band broke up, but the songs were recorded in 1979 before they recorded their debut album Jeopardy and Propaganda was viewed by the band as their true first album.[1]
Re-recorded versions of three of the tracks appeared on the official debut album, 'Jeopardy': 'Missiles', 'Night Vs Day' & 'Words Fail Me'.[2]
Critical reception
- "Borland's vocal phrasing resembles Iggy Pop's streetwise cool in a more-than-apparent way, though his worlds-apart personality is introverted and restrained compared to Pop's unbridled exhibitionism." (Andy Kellman, Allmusic)
- "There are the timely circumstances. There are the comparisons to peers such as Joy Division and Echo & The Bunnymen. There are the albums of unquestioned quality, depth and longevity. There are the tragic misfortunes and unrealized dreams. And, now, they are mostly memories. (Dan Nishimoto, Prefix Magazine)[4]
