Crush
(1985)
more music like this
by
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Following through on the pop inclinations of Junk Culture, OMD recorded a full-fledged mainstream pop album with Crush. Considerably calmer and more accessible than their previous records, the album may be less adventurous than their earlier work, but the breezy melodic charm of dance-pop singles like "So In Love" make Crush a thoroughly winning ...

The OMD Singles
(1998)

by
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Looking back on 20 years of creative growth since the electro-pop band's inception, The OMD Singles is logically and chronologically arranged. The earliest recordings, 1980's "Electricity" and "Messages," prove electric messages were being channeled from such German pioneers as Kraftwerk and Neu! These English boys were enamored of melody, though, ...

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
If there was a clear high point for OMD in terms of balancing relentless experimentation and seemingly unstoppable mainstream success in the U.K., Architecture & Morality is it. Again combining everything from design and presentation to even the title into an overall artistic effort, this album showed that OMD was arguably the first Liverpool band ...

The Best of OMD

by
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys make up Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, who were responsible for some of the catchiest and brightest synth pop that the '80s had to offer. O.M.D.'s material was a step above other keyboard pop music of the time, thanks to the combination of intelligently crafted hooks and colorful rhythms that bounced and ...

Dazzle Ships

by
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
OMD's glistening run of top-flight singles and chart domination came to a temporary but dramatic halt with Dazzle Ships, the point where the band's pushing of boundaries reached their furthest limit. McCluskey, Humphreys, and company couldn't take many listeners with them, though, and it's little surprise why -- a couple of moments aside, Dazzle ...

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
OMD's first full-length album won as much attention for its brilliant die-cut cover -- another example of Peter Saville's cutting-edge way around design -- as for its music, and its music is wonderful. For all that, this is a young band, working for just about the last time with original percussionist Winston; there's both a variety and ambition ...

Kuschelrock, Vol. 2
(1998)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Kuschelrock, Vol. 2 isn't as musically coherent as some of the later volumes in the series, as it mixes pop hits from two distinctly different musical eras -- the '70s and the '80s -- but it still functions as a handy way to obtain loads of popular singles in one two-disc swoop. The biggest negative factor might be the import price, but then again ...

The Pacific Age is the last OMD album to feature founding member Paul Humphreys (although The Best of OMD does collect a pair of subsequent singles). With producer Stephen Hague returning and guests Graham and Martin Weir elevated to full-time members, OMD aggressively targets the American pop market cultivated with Crush and the Top Ten single ...

The final volume of Rhino's monumental new wave series, Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, plays both sides of the fence equally well. There are a lot of big hits that some might say are not new wave -- Katrina & the Waves' "Walkin on Sunshine" and Charlie Sexton's "Beat's So Lonely," for instance -- but once they're placed in this ...

Sugar Tax
(1991)
more music like this
by
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Sugar Tax is the first album OMD recorded without Paul Humphreys, and while the record is less adventurous than most of the group's previous albums, that's not necessarily due to his absence. Instead, OMD began a slow decline into light soul-inflected synth-pop in the late '80s, and Sugar Tax, while thoroughly competent, is nothing more than ...

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Yet another release from the John Peel/BBC archives, and in this case it is a clear winner. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) was one of the most original and unique sounding bands of the 1980s, and they were also one of the most beguiling. To the average listener, they were a synth-pop group chock full of hits. Yet there was another side to ...

Universal
(1996)

by
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Universal is a rote collection of synth-pop and dance-pop from OMD, demonstrating only a fraction of the sophisticated craft that made its predecessor Liberator enjoyable, and none of the adventurous spirit of their '80s records. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
If OMD's debut album showed the band could succeed just as well on full-length efforts as singles, Organisation upped the ante even further, situating the band in the enviable position of at once being creative innovators and radio-friendly pop giants. That was shown as much by the astounding lead track and sole single from the album, "Enola Gay." ...
