The British record label ZTT Records (known from the likes of Frankie Goes to Hollywood) offered the band a contract and produced in 1984 the first single "Dr. Mabuse". This single was a production technical tour de force.Producer Trevor Horn and music journalist Paul Morley, which shortly before that with The Art of Noise and the aforementioned Frankie Goes to Hollywood had brought on the market a new music style, made consistent use of new technological opportunities, in particular by computer samples. The musical accompaniment of the songs of Propaganda was as an experiment at first, entirely on the computer.

"Dr. Mabuse" was a reasonably successful song worldwide, and gold player soon after the appearance of it as a particularly handsome produced pop song. The group released several maxi singles by, all with different arrangements. Under the influence of the journalist Morley decided ZTT the artwork and the video clips of the band to give a more modern touch. This ensured that the band stood out in the boom in the 1980s to bands that came to mind. ==Good luck[ Edit] == After the success of the first single Andreas Thein left the band. After his departure, the band recorded the album "A Secret Wish" on, with the highly successful singles Duel (Eye to Eye) and P-Machinery. The same is true today as a classic album, there are there over the years only millions sold. It was characterized by over-produced danceable synthpop with much emphasis on the melodies, and noticed by the supercooled vocals and striking votes of the front women Brücken and Freytag. The singles are getting a lot of airplay, but the through ZTT expected sales results are disappointing.

Then the band brings a remix-album, Wishful Thinking. The band will of the record deal and is thereby now (1986) embroiled in a lawsuit with ZTT, and Brücken (now married to producer Morley) leaves the band. At ZTT brings them then an album: "Laughter Tears and Rage" out, under the name Act (with Thomas Learn) she brings later (1990), a solo album: Love: And a Million Other Things. The album is popular among Propaganda-fans but can further little pots break. ==Lawsuit[ Edit] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">After a long drawn-out lawsuit the band eventually managed to make it for them (financially) to terminate unfavourable contract with ZTT. Subsequent attempts by the band (which includes the album "1234") to the success that they had to continue under ZTT are few successful (the originating from the album single "Heaven give me words" reaches out in Netherlands does not go beyond the tipparade) and districts a lot on the old style. Band founder Dörper left the band during the recordings of "1234" and scored another hit with fellow German Thein ("Dr. Acid & Mr. House"). He knew after his old band Die Krupps reassemble and knew the industrial-rock genre during the 1990s, very popular, particularly in Europe and the United States. ==Comeback<span class="mw-editsection" len="332" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Propaganda tried to achieve a comeback in 2000 with new material. The attempt proved fruitless, commercial success stayed out. They performed once more in the original line-up with the song ' Dr. Mabuse ', during Prince's Trust concert (november 2004) in Wembley as a tribute to producer Trevor Horn. Other bands that performed were Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Yes, Buggles, Lisa Stansfield, Art of Noise, Belle & Sebastian, Dollar, t.A.T.u., Seal, Grace Jones, ABC and the Pet Shop Boys.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">At the beginning of 2006 makes Propaganda, Brücken and Dörper, now without a new comeback with a four-part series on vinyl released compositions on the Düsseldorf label "Amontillado Music". Sales are exclusively through the internet instead. Brücken took the mini album ' Item ' with Paul Humphreys ( Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's) under the name OneTwo. ==Discography<span class="mw-editsection" len="335" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Albums<span class="mw-editsection" len="330" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Singles<span class="mw-editsection" len="331" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Radio 2 Top 2000<span class="mw-editsection" len="340" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===
