The OMD Singles - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

The OMD Singles - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

After releasing "Electricity" in 1979, OMD quickly became one of the more influential ... more

electro-pop bands. While the premise of a singing
synthesizer duo may now be a fairly conventional
concept, Andy McClusky and Paul Humphreys had very
few role models when they first developed their
unusual style. This package pulls together two
full decades of OMD's distinctive pop
craftsmanship. From the early sounds of "Enola
Gay" to radio classics like "Joan of Arc" and
"Souvenir", OMD's polished, dramatic readings
influenced everyone from Depeche Mode to the Pet
Shop Boys. Late-1980s tunes like "If You Leave"
and "(Forever) Live and Die" round out this
collection. While not displaying all the more
offbeat aspects of OMD's music, this package
certainly delivers the hits. --Mitch Myers

Orchestrally Yours

Advantages: Comprehensive collection
Disadvantages: A few space fillers

[First of all: I dedicate this opinion to the wonder that is theediscerning, because he and I share a passion for this particular brand of 80s electropop. Theed, I salute you. xxx]

The opinion, then.

Once upon a time, 16 year old Andy McCluskey sat in his Liverpool bedroom, dreaming of making different music. Kraftwerk-inspired electronic pop, with meaningful lyrics was his game, and he wanted to call his band, eventually ...
...with mullet Paul Humphreys with a few regular supporting types, "the most pretentious thing I could think of". And so Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark - OMD - were born. They lasted almost 20 years, despite a Morrissey and Marr style rift which left Andy carrying the banner alone, and finally gave up the ghost in 1997, although rumour has it that all is not lost... watch this space, I guess.

OMD fell in a rather unique category... ... more

Life's A Synth

Advantages: Glorious 1980's Synth Balloons.
Disadvantages: The Lifeless Nineties Efforts.

...This collection of OMD singles was released in 1998, two years after their last album release 'Universal'. It includes 18 of their singles and for the most part is a joyous reflection of their musical acumen. I am not really one for greatest hits but for a band who invented the word 'singles band', owning the best of OMD would seem more logical than splashing out on their back catalogue of 10 albums. OMD were made up of Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys. ...
...timeless beat. Where the previous singles burnt a trail through limitless energy, 'Souvenir' blows you away with its carefree genius. Things get altogether eerie on the brooding 'Maid Of Orleans'. At times the singing is a little out of tune but the electronic accompaniment is of such a high standard these little flaws can be overlooked. At this stage the OMD sound had started to fill out into something bigger and at times it became downright challenging ...

Telephone Boxes and Speaking Clocks

Advantages: All the classics from their early years are featured
Disadvantages: Only covers 1979-1988, the 3 omitted singles could have been included instead of the two dodgy extended 12" mixes which take up almost 15 minutes between them

half of the band broke away to form Heaven 17 - and OMD (thank God for abbreviations) were the first really successful exponents of the genre in this country. Fast-forward to 1988, and OMD had amassed enough singles to warrant a Best Of collection. 18 of them feature on this Greatest Hits CD - only 14 on vinyl, though that's almost an irrelevant fact now of course - with the remaining three of their 21 UK releases (up to that point) omitted. It begins with Electricity, which never managed to grace the charts at the time. The song is, however, a perfect example of early OMD. Lyrics about energy sources (Nuclear, HEP, Solar) were set to a bustling mix of real bass guitar, synthetic rhythms and rather plinkety synths. This blueprint was repeated with Messages, their breakthrough Top 40 hit single in early 1980, but with added oomph in all ...

Review of Best Of OMD, The - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

The Souvenir of OMD

Advantages: A journey through the development of an electro pop band
Disadvantages: There are a couple of awful tracks that could have been left off.

of the most outstanding synthesiser albums of all time. It was in 'Architecture and Morality' released in November 1981, that we first heard the extraordinarily gentle and mystical 'Souvenir.' We are now far away from the one hand gymnastics on the keyboard and into a world of dreams and emotion. This record (and the album) was a breakthrough for OMD. Reaching number 3 in the singles charts it was now to be a prime example as the extent of the creative talents of the two men. It was from the early eighties onwards, that they experienced the height of their career. Enlisting the help of brothers Graham and Neil Weir, they appear in the later 'Locomotion' and were from then on, to become permanent fixtures although Humphreys and McCluskey remained the two heads of the band and other members were very rarely seen. There was a continuation ...
