#NowPlaying: #OrchestralManoeuvresintheDark - Architecture & Morality
1981 UK pressing. Cover seems to be German.

I seem to be going through #OMD's albums chronologically, not my initial intention but I'll get on with it. This album perfects the synth work compared to Organisation and puts even more emotion and nuance in the synths, coupled with choir sounds and waltzy beats. Probably their musical peak, but not their experimental one!

#NowPlaying: #OrchestralManoeuvresintheDark
1980 Dutch pressing.

Too bad the cover is not the amazing original. This album opens with what someone described as "the sound of trying to dribble a deflated basketball" and that was probably the funniest thing I read that entire month. It's palpable that #OMD were not quite master of the synth at this point as it feels a bit harsh, but another album released the same year (!) shows a dramatic improvement.

"If You Leave" is a 1986 song by English #electronic band #OrchestralManoeuvresInTheDark (OMD). It was recorded for the #soundtrack to the film #PrettyInPink (1986), in which it is played prominently during the final scene. Along with 1980's "#EnolaGay", the track has been described as OMD's #signatureSong. "If You Leave" is the group's highest-charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it reached number 4 in May 1986.

Had an incredible record haul yesterday! Only to the last two in the picture had I ever listened before, and the one in the middle below I had been looking for for months (albeit on CD).

I hope with the following hashtags this will reach the right audience so that I know who to follow! 😎

You know what makes you feel old? Getting the 40th anniversary edition of one of your fave albums. It’s Dazzle Ships by #omd btw.
Back when it first came out in ‘83 I owned it on cassette before I got the 1st CD release, that’s the one on the left. Cassettes were portable and old fuddy duddies had vinyl. How times have changed.
Now it seems that I have 4 copies of 3 different CD editions of the same album. For some reason I have 2 copies of the 2008 edition 😬
