Oldies are Goldies, it's generally said. And yep there's something true about it. Which doesn't mean, that every song before 1990 is a Goldie. Because we got tons of music from the past, we just can't hear anymore, because they are out of fashion and trend. But there are also tunes, which sound as fresh and new and good even after 20 or 30 years. They sound, as if they've just been written. And that's exactly, what we got here, the songs of O.M.D. or better Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. 19 years Andy McCluskey and Paul Humpghres did not communicate in that way, although both have not been lazy doing nothing. McCluskey still went on under the name O.M.D. with different musicians - 'till 1998. Then this chapter was finished as well. In the year 2005 O.M.D. in the line up Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes and Stuart Kershaw came together again for one appearance at the german TV Show - The Ultimate Chartshow - The most successful artists of the Eighties. And within an interview then, both Mc Cluskey and Humphres said, they will keep going on again. Past december both guys appeared at the
Nokia Night Of The Proms tour and have proved, that they are still
up to date. Now it's been time to play full concerts again in the
origial line up Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Mal Holmes and Martin
Cooper. The slogan is the Architecture & Morality tour. Which is
also the title of their third album from 1981. Yeesssss, this is very nice indeed!!! And
the band gets what the deserve - a lot of affection and applause from an
truly enthusiastic crowd. I'd never thought about so much love. The
vibe is enourmous and the audiance gets so wild, that some other bands
would probably become jealous about all this. |
