OMD
"Dark, Electronic pop music."
1978: in Liverpool's Eric's Club the seed was sown for the likes of The Teardrop Explodes, Echo & The Bunnymen or Frankie Goes To Hollywood, while OMD were giving their first concert. The emblem band for synth-pop would soon count with the support of Tony Wilson of Factory to build their first recording studio. In 1980, they released their self titled debut album, a icy path for their two creative peaks: the sensitive “Organisation” (80) and the devastating “Architecture And Morality” (81), their creative peak and a complete collection of, exactly, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. In love with Kraftwerk, Neu!, Brian Eno, home synthesizers and electronic melancholy, and gifted with a bizarre ability to write clever pop songs with unusual resources (lyrics about bomb attacks, petrol refineries and religious icons), OMD can create better than anyone ethereal atmospheres and epic productions. Quiet throughout the nineties, but never completely static, now they return with a concert where hits such as "Electricity", "Souvenir", "Joan 0f Arc", ˜Dreaming", ˜Maid Of Orleans" and, of course, ˜Enola Gay", will not be missed.
