  • Act were a short-lived synthpop group signed to ZTT Records in the late 1980s, and comprising Thomas Leer and ex-Propaganda vocalist Claudia Brücken. Besides electro-pop and disco the group were also influenced by psychedelic rock and musical theatre. Lyrically their songs tended to be concerned with decadence and the moral bankruptcy of the world as they saw it, as summed up in the title of their debut single "Snobbery and Decay" — the cover of which featured pictures of Quentin Crisp and Liberace. The band dissolved shortly after the release of their first album Laughter, Tears and Rage in 1988.
  • Act var et britisk popband fra 1980-tallet. Thomas Leer og Claudia Brücken med produsenter Stephen Lipson, Trevor Horn med flere. Sammen med electropop og disco, var duoen også inspirert av psykedelisk rock og musicals. Tekstmessig handlet det om dekadanse, hemningsløs humanisme og moralsk skruppeløshet, hvilket best kommer til uttrykk i singlen 'Snobbery and Decay'. Pga. langvarige rettssaker med prosjektet 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood' fikk plateselskapet ZTT Records aldri satt riktig fokus på Act.
