Description
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), the synth-pop duo from
Wirral, England, pioneered their genre combining massive chart success
with experimentation on albums such as "Organisation"(1980) "Architecture
and Morality" (1981) and "Dazzle Ships" (1983). Hits such as ‘Enola
Gay’, ‘So in Love’ and ‘If you Leave’ propelled them into the
stratosphere. The latter of which was heavily featured in the John Hughes
’Pretty In Pink’ film. The band has sold over 15 million albums and 25 million
singles.
OMD re-united in 2007 and have been playing sold out concerts worldwide
to critical and fan acclaim ever since. Their recent studio albums ‘English
Electric’ and ‘Punishment of Luxury’ show the band to be one of the few of
their generation still able to create music that inspires. Their live show never
fails to impress, full of hits and full of energy.
“Electronic music is our language”, Andy says. “It’s how we talk.”
The band will be celebrating their 40th anniversary with the release of a
Singles collection and collectors box set that spans their truly remarkable
career.
OMD live are Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Martin Cooper, Stuart
Kershaw.
