Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

Welcome To The 80's Synthpop

Review Score:

(8/10)
I really like these guys. I own all of their albums. They were like another Kraftwerk or Telex except these guys came out of England. This album in fact was my introduction to the band, back when they weren't chart busters. I love the electronic sounds of "Electricity" and "Bunker Soldiers". The track that still stands all time is definitely "Messages" which is their strongest track here and my personal favorites. Though it appears in it's original form on this album the single is the best version of this song. The single version can be found on their BEST OF collection. I always pictured the track "Julia's Song" with live guitars and drums. It's the song that caught the most attention for me. It still does today. I also enjoy listening to "Almost" in the dark. It gives that special effect. If you like the early New Wave sound of the 1980's you'll dig this. If you're more pop 80's check out the BEST OF collection.
