T U M B O M E T E R ---- ---- --- --- -- -- -- -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - As is the standard, playful Zang Tuum Tumb policy, there is now a second 12" variation on Propaganda's powerful celebration of dance and crime, Dr. Mabuse. Just as you thought all of Mabuse's lives had been used up, back into your life he leaps, with his thirteenth life - a less unsettling, unpredictale experience as the first 12" but equally as infectious and uplifting. 'The 13th Life' slips into place with delicious ease, teases the dance into a false sense of security, and then never lets she/he/it go. Propaganda know that only the exhausting is truly interesting, and 'The 13th Life' is prepared to exhaust whoever comes close. Its' absolute excitement comes from the pressure only Trevor Horn knows how to apply to a machine, a mix, a masterpiece. If Dr. Mabuse hasn't been able to persuade anyone so far, then 'The 13th Life' will be the killer attraction, the conclusive proof. Dance as crime.
