Album

The Official Secrets Act is M's second album, released in 1980 on Sire Records. The track Official Secrets was released as a single and charted in the UK at No. 64 in November 1980. The follow-up single was Keep It To Yourself. The track Maniac featured Level 42 members Phil Gould on drums and Mark King on bass. The album title is a reference to the various UK Official Secrets Acts. Transmission The World Is at Your Fingertips 4:30. Join the Party 3:39.

Listen free to M The Official Secrets Act Transmission, Join the Party and more. 16 tracks 57:39. The great thing about this album, aside from the songs, of course, is that it's Paranoid Dance Pop. In fact, that could be said about a lot of M's songs, but the ones on Official Secrets Act in particular. The theme of the album is betrayal by the government and totalitarianism. The album opens with Transmission, a composition based around snatches of fabricated radio transmissions, with swirling static as bits of information come in and out including a sly jab at his previous success A eastern-European sounding voice telling. Your Rating. Collectors note: The 1997 reissue of the album contains six bonus tracks that feature frequent M collaborator Brigit Novic, including a couple of keyboard-heavy keepers. Track Listing. Official Secrets is a very well done and very important political thriller, it won the best Foreign Film Award at the Traverse City Film Festival that I attended, so that goes to prove that it has a lasting effect, and I agree. So if you're willing to believe in what the story is telling you, it has great performances and twists and turns throughout, it'll have you cheering for the protagonists and utterly booing the antagonists, if you're in the mood for a good solid political thriller I recommend Official Secrets.

Bought this album back in the 80's, but could not really get into it, as it felt like a collection of tracks rather than an album. But I have come to realize that it is a bit of a Rubik's Cube challenge, I solved it for myself by arranging the songs in this order: A New Wave: Official Secrets, Relax, Join The Party, Keep It To Yourself, Your Country Needs You.
