I have loved Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark's (OMD) music since their album "Crush" in 1985 and "The Pacific Age" in 1986. The are a great 80's electronic/synth-pop/new wave band. Unfortunately, like a lot of bands, they broke up at the height of their success, in 1989. One of the members tried to release a couple albums under the OMD name, but they didn't chart well and to be honest they weren't as good, so from 1996-2006 the band produced nothing. Then after time healing some old wounds, they reformed in 2007 with the original band line-up. Since that time they have released 3 more albums, one in 2010, 2013 and today's The Punishment of Luxury, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Their music is the same as it ever was, quirky synth-pop with a bit of a message if you want to listen for it. After a once through of the new album I can tell it is going to be on repeat for awhile." La Mitrailleuse" - "The Machine Gun"
"Isotype"
"The Punishment of Luxury"
