Our Take

A quintessential mix of electro-pop goodness, OMD's latest album is a delightful blend of futuristic sounds and nostalgic melodies. The synth-heavy tracks transport you to a time when neon lights and shoulder pads reigned supreme. From the infectious hooks of "Electricity" to the dreamy vibes of "Enola Gay," each song is a sonic journey that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for your hairspray.

Andy McCluskey's distinctive vocals soar over the pulsating rhythms, while Paul Humphreys' masterful production creates a lush soundscape that is both familiar and fresh. The album is a testament to OMD's enduring creativity and ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to their signature sound.

Tracks like "Joan of Arc" and "Maid of Orleans" showcase the band's knack for catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, while instrumentals like "ABC Auto Industry" and "The Romance of the Telescope" demonstrate their experimental side. Each song is a gem in its own right, but together they form a cohesive and captivating listening experience that will have you hitting repeat.

Whether you're a die-hard OMD fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates finely crafted pop music with a side of synth. So grab your Walkman, press play, and let yourself be whisked away on a musical journey through the neon-lit streets of the 80s.
