Act - Love And Hate
Review by Mashud El-Yakubu
Love and Hate by Act is a unique album that showcases the band's ability to blend different genres of music seamlessly. The album features a mix of electronic, rock, and pop sounds, creating a unique and dynamic listening experience. The vocals are emotive and powerful, conveying a range of emotions from love to despair.
The album opens with the track "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now," a cover of The Smiths' classic song. The band puts their own spin on the track, adding electronic beats and synths to create a fresh and modern sound. Other standout tracks on the album include "Snobbery and Decay," "Laughter, Tears and Rage," and "I Can't Escape From You."

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.
