A Secret Sense of Rhythm, a Secret Sense of Sin: The Complete ZTT Propaganda

This was followed by their debut studio album A Secret Wish, two of the album's singles, 'Dr. Mabuse' and 'Duel', were UK Top 30 hits. 'A Secret Wish' which was written by Mertens and Dörper it received considerable critical acclaim reaching number 16 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was followed by the single, 'p:Machinery', which became a hit in Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. The group spent the rest of the year on their 'Outside World' tour, taking in Europe and America. A remix album, 'Wishful Thinking', was released in November 1985. Originally intended for the American club market, the album was also released in Europe.
