 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (often abbreviated to OMD) were a synth pop group from the Wirral, UK, who recorded for Virgin Records (originally for Virgin's DinDisc subsidiary).
An album of unreleased material by the band was scheduled for release in 2005.
The album's striking sound saw OMD's original synth-pop sound augmented by the Mellotron, an instrument previously associated with prog rock bands.

 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark or OMD were a Liverpool synth pop musical ensemble which recorded for Virgin Records.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark was one of the original "synth-duos," and easily one of the best.
Shame (title of another great OMD song.) The first two albums were scattershot, but combined neatly into the U.S. compilation titled OMD highlighted by "Messages," "Enola Gay," and "Electricity." Start here if you can.

 TrouserPress.com :: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
O.M.D. is an American condensation of the band's first two British albums, including both catchy OMD standards, "Enola Gay" and "Electricity." Recommended.
That song was thankfully omitted from OMD's subsequent album, The Pacific Age, but so was anything that might have prevented the record from being tiresomely ponderous and self-important.
The album is simply ordinary and mediocre, a disappointment from a once-captivating band.

 Jase on Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
The first OMD song I recall hearing was "If You Leave".
I have one of the three albums he has put out since the band broke up.
"This band's name is Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark," he said.

 OMD: album reviews and ratings
Merging the electro-pop of Ultravox and the "robot-pop" of Kraftwerk with Bowie and Roxy Music glam, OMD produced a sparkling array of danceable synth-pop that owed as much to the craftsmanship of Lennon/McCartney songwriting as to New Romantic style and sensibility.
While many OMD fans of long-standing mourned the passing of the original group and the departure of Paul Humphreys, Sugar Tax was undeniably a very strong album indeed, eclipsing the group's previous couple of albums sales-wise and spawning two UK Top Ten hits and a couple of less successful chart singles."
Although the album concealed some fine pop songs, its lack of critical and commercial success was perhaps responsible for OMD taking a more conservative approach in the future.

 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark CD
Prior to ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK, synthesizer-based pop was either austere and/or deliberately unpleasant such as Kraftwerk or Throbbing Gristle, or novelty music the likes of M's "Pop Muzik." This eponymous set was among the first by an almost entirely synthesizer-based band to focus on the creation of catchy, melodic pop songs.
Although later OMD albums were more assured and technically complex, this is one of their best
With songs like Electricity, Bunker Soldiers, and Red Flame / White Light, this would be the best OMD album.

OMD is a lot like Depeche Mode to me. Most of the songs that I really like aren't simply found on their greatest hits compilations.
OMD made melancholic pop on this debut but eventually they wrote mostly love songs.

 OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark) - Nostalgia Central
They called the session 'Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark' and it was such a success they decided to "do this sort of thing on a more permanent basis".
Meanwhile, Humphries, Holmes and Cooper formed a new band under the name The Listening Pool.
Tony Wilson of Factory Records became interested in the band, releasing their debut Electricity.

Firstly, The Beatles, because it must have been amazing to have been in the greatest pop group of all time when pop music was still new and young.
In the post punk era Liverpool was experiencing its biggest boom since the time of the Beatles.
But while the Teardrops broke up and Cope's career has waned OMD have still been at the top of the charts.

 ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK
As I’ve said before, 1980 was an exciting time for new music, and OMD certainly generated their share of excitement with this energetic album.
Fans of John Foxx-era Ultravox or latter-day Kraftwerk should find Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark’s debut a source of enlightenment, though Architecture & Morality is the better album.
I’d perhaps placed this (and their next two records) on too high a pedestal, and was crushed to hear them pandering to the teenybopper market by mid-decade.

 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Stand Above Me
It's not a bad track as dance tracks go, but when I buy an OMD single I want it to contain OMD songs, not a ten-minute overindulgence by some remix producer I've never heard of.
Almost two years after their highly successful album Sugar Tax (and its associated brace of hit singles) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are back with a new single.
It's sounds unmistakably like an OMD track but that's not surprising since McCluskey's vocals are instantly recognisable.

 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
McCluskey continued with the band, releasing Sugar Tax in 1991; in the meantime, Humphreys formed the Listening Pool.
The group released its first single, "Electricity," on Factory Records; the record led to a contract with the Virgin subsidiary DinDisc.
Humphreys and McCluskey began performing together in school, playing in the bands VCL XI, Hitlerz Underpantz, and the Id.

 Silent Running by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark: Reviews
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 Ships is pop of the most fragmented kind, a concept album released in an era that had nothing to do with such conceits.

Having recently retrieved some OMD vinyl from my attic, I am pleasantly surprised to find that the music they made has more than stood the test of time and still sounds fresh and exciting.
They were great ‘live’ in concert and always enjoyed an excellent rapport with their audience.
They made fabulous singles, their Best Of is chock full of great songs.

 Spoilt Victorian Child - prime Dickensian empeethree akshun
What a great LP and to start off the proceedings let's begin with this instrumental number that uses a recorded broadcast by a presenter from Radio Prague.
It's difficult to imagine a band nowadays taking such a risk as to follow up a multi-million selling LP with a collection of fractured futurist soundscapes, Eastern European radio broadcasts and robot noises.
So the story goes, the band were hoping people would take the record back to shops convinced it wasn't OMD!

 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Discography
Their music generally falls in dark and light halves; Dazzle ends the dark, JC demarcates the light.
So it was in a diet that included (at its best) Duran Duran, Split Enz and Talking Heads that OMD slipped in a simple wonder, "Joan of Arc." Not that the video was so visually stunning, but that song!
They've never made an impression on me to equal their first, but their ear for a pleasant melody seldom fails them.

They were first influenced by Krautrock German bands like KRAFTWERK and NEU!
In 1989 Humphrey, Holmes, and Cooper all left the band and McCluskey added new members Stuart Kershaw and Lloyd Massett, and during the early 90's the band moved toward a more mainstream style like dance.
