Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Profile:
Formed in Wirral, Merseyside with Paul Humphreys (synthesizers) and Andy McCluskey (vocals and bass guitar). They played their first gig in 1978 at Eric's (Liverpool), then had a run of UK chart hits after swapping labels from Factory to the Virgin owned label DinDisc starting with the 1980 release 'Messages'.
Although Humphreys left the group in 1989, McCluskey made a comeback in 1991 with the UK top 5 'Sailing On The Seven Seas', and followed that up with a UK top 3 Album 'Sugar Tax' before finally calling it a day in 1996.
In 2007 they toured together again featuring the classic line-up of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper and released a live-album in 2008: 'OMD Live: Architecture & Morality & More'. September 2010 saw the release of History Of Modern featuring the original classic line-up.More

one of the best bands of all time
a band which started with kraftwerk-like music ending with IF YOU LEAVE and DREAMING at the end of the 80s and having a big comeback in 1991
great band
first saw the band 1991 on MTV as a small child with PANDORAS BOX

Easily one of the best synth-pop bands of the 80s with their unique lyrics, northern charm & adaptability to the times & technology around them with maybe 'Junk Culture' (1984) being my favourite album by them

Their first 4 albums are among the best of the 80s. That cold, layered, electronic wash mixed with mournful emotional vocals tingles the ears more than almost any other 80s artist. I can't get into anything after Junk Culture - although their last two albums, especially The Punishment of Luxury approach a return to form.

Horrible forcing the electo while they sound amatheurish synth sonic-timbrewise. The concept of producing 80's albums nowadays is great but they just can't do it. Weak counterfeiting everywhere... Dull, boring compositions.... I'm very sorry.

The best band of the 80s no question. I love all their work but their standouts are 'Junk Culture' & 'Crush'. So creative and quirky whilst still having their charm. Even their poppiest material is light years ahead of the turd chart music of today and the past 10-15 years to be honest. Long may they continue.
