In 2004, Claudia Brücken (Propaganda/Act) and Paul Humphreys (OMD) joined up as "Onetwo", and released a five track e.p. entitled "Item".One of the five tracks is entitled "Cloud Nine". Martin co-wrote the song with Claudia, and also plays guitar on the track.Question to OneTwo: "How did you get in contact with Martin Gore and how did you "persuade" him to help out? One Two:"Well, being as solo artist for so long, I've always sought to work and collaborate with other musicians. I started to write a little chord sequence on guitar and I pretty much had the lyrics plus the verse melodies sorted out but as my knowledge of chords on guitars are limited I simply thought, hmm, who could I ask to help me with this song and seriously, Martin who lived closed by, came into my mind. I never thought of Martin the guy from Depeche but just of Martin who's a great singer songwriter guitarist and because we were mates and he was around I just rang him up and told him that I wanted to play him a bit of my song. We met up and he listened and I said please help me finish writing it and he said no way I can't do that I've never written with ANYONE BEFORE, SO I replied well don't worry, why don't you give it a go and if it doesn't work than just throw it in the rubbish, and then I left. After a couple of days Martin called me up and said, hey I've done it ...it was a doodle...and that was the way "Cloud 9" was written. He's such a sweetheart!" The video is a compilation of random time-lapse videos, which can be found on Youtube. If you're one of the creators of a video used here and you wish for it not to be in it here, I'm willing to change it. Enjoy;)

Nov 18, 2008 - These images I used are some random time lapse photographies, they have nothing to do with them. I thought this would be more intriguing rather than using some random pics of them.

TimberCub07 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Claudia Brücken is NOT ex of Propaganda get your facts right ... Propaganda is still around doing music and concerts and she is STILL a member of the Band ... just because she is doing Solo project doesn't mean she is no longer part of Propaganda ...
mcdodunk Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - get your facts right also buddy. she aint doing it solo, its a duo with paul humphreys ex omd
CoffeeNo2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - My facts are right - unless you count one off appearances at reunion events, the band no longer exists - and have produced no new music for many a long year(sadly).

Nov 18, 2008 - I stumbled upon this by accident. I have to say I am impressed with the song. But I assume this is not the official video... It doesn't matter because you did a brilliant editing job. And I would like to purchase the OneTwo album now!
TimberCub07 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - well sorry to say ... but your facts are WRONG ... no new music since many years ... you wish ... how about "Valley of the Machine Gods", "No More" ... ummm if I remember correctly ... released last year ... under new record label called ... Amadillo Records ... and in there last apearance on the german TV ... M. Mertens said they are working on new material ... I win YOU loose ... LOL .... :-)
CoffeeNo2 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - If you consider just Mertens & Freytag as Propaganda, then I guess they do exist to a fashion, with just one track ( remixed 4 times ) as their output since 2005. Nevertheless, Brucken is no longer part of any recorded music, and no matter what Mertens has said, is unlikely to be again anytime soon. So I stand by my comment - Claudia Brucken, ex of Propaganda :) In fact reading an interview that Mertens gave in Feb 2007, he stated he now had no contact with Brucken.
