Review

As polished as A Secret Wish was, Propaganda could get edgy, dissonant, and downright freaky on their 12"s with the help of studio wizard and remixer Trevor Horn. Outside World collects some of the best and hardest-to-find mixes into one neat package. It's great for the hardcore, but new fans should not start here. Many of the different titles are actually just different mixes of the same song, with "Dr Mabuse" taking up 20 minutes of the CD alone in its varying shapes and forms. Fanatics should seek out the German version, which adds a DVD. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Outside World is a 2002 compilation album by Propaganda. The album collects remixes, B-sides and extra tracks released on 7-inch and 12-inch records, cassette singles and white-label DJ vinyl pressings during the band's tenure on the ZTT label in 1984/85. It was released as a CD and as a CD with a bonus DVD containing promotional videos and TV commercials.

  2. "Lied" – 2:48
  3. "p:Machinery (Beta Mix)" – 9:33
  4. "Duel (Bitter Sweet)" – 7:38
  5. "The Lesson" – 4:18

The German version of the CD replaces "Complete Machinery" with "p:Machinery Connected", taken directly from the cassette single. As a result, the sound quality is rather poor.

Track listing bonus DVD

  1. "Dr. Mabuse" (Version 1)
  2. "Dr. Mabuse" (Version 2)

Promotional videos directed by Anton Corbijn. Version 1 is a spectacular black-and-white affair featuring Claudia Brucken being stalked by Mabuse (actor Vladek Sheybal), through a dark and eerie castle full of monks. The second is studio-set, featuring the band's little seen drummer, Weet. And Andreas Thein smashing up a bathtub with hammers...

  1. "Duel" (Version 1)
  2. "Duel" (Version 2)

Promotional videos directed by John "Scarlet" Davis and Paul Morley. Identical, except that Version 1 features on-screen graphics.

  1. "p:Machinery"

Promotional video directed by Zbigniew Rybczyński. Filmed in a Manhattan warehouse, with Claudia performing in front of Ralf, Susanne and Michael, who are strung up on harnesses like puppets, being operated from a gantry above.

  1. "Dr Mabuse" (TV Commercial)
  2. "Duel" (TV Commercial)
