''Wishful Thinking'' is a 1985 remix album by the synthpop band Propaganda. ==Overview== Originally released November 1985, ''Wishful Thinking'' was put together initially as a promo for the American club market, composed of remixes of tracks from the album ''A Secret Wish''. It was compiled by Paul Morley and tape operator Bob Kraushaar〔Album sleeve notes〕 without input from the group themselves, who objected to its release in Europe. The track titles are pretty self-explanatory: "Abuse" (in two parts) are remixes of "Dr. Mabuse", "Machined" is a remix of "P:Machinery", "Laughed!" is a remix of "Sorry for Laughing", "Loving" and "Loved" are remixes of "The Murder of Love", "Jewelled" is a hybrid remix of "Duel" and "Jewel", and "Thought" is a short instrumental remix of the group's unreleased cover of Throbbing Gristle's "Discipline". The painting on the cover was created by the group's singer, Claudia Brücken.〔Album sleeve notes〕 The album's liner notes contain a quote by the German writer and philosopher Goethe: "Und umzuschaffen das Geschaffene, Dass sich's nicht zum Starren waffne, Wirkt ewiges lebendiges Thun." Which translates as follows: "And refashioning the fashioned, lest it stiffen into iron, is work of endless vital activity." "Abuse" (in a slightly edited form) was used as the opening titles theme for the 1987 John Hughes film ''Some Kind of Wonderful''. The track is noticeably missing from the film's soundtrack album, however. "Jewelled" was used for many years as the theme music for the BBC's Lombard/RAC Rally coverage. The Seven Network in Australia also used the piece as the theme music for all of their motor sports coverage in the late 1980s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wishful Thinking (Propaganda album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
