Dazzle Ships
“One of British pop's more notorious flops, OMD's misunderstood gem is also ripe for revisionism: It's got a strong backstory, it's as ambitious as it is catchy, and it even has a gorgeous Peter Saville sleeve.”
Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark
“Most American music fans don't seem to know it, but Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark were around long before Andie and Ducky worked up the self-esteem to show up stag to the prom. The band's U.S. crossover success didn't come until their sixth album, by which time its more creative juices had stopped flowing. So like Adam and the Ants, the Human League, and Dexy's Midnight Runners, among others, ”
English Electric
“Incorporating references to Kraftwerk, Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach, and their own classic back catalogue, the British new wave band OMD's second album since reforming in 2006 features a tension between the past and a possible way forward.”
History of Modern
“One of the truly great bands in synth-pop history makes a comeback alongside the many bands currently aping their early 1980s sounds.”
