Architecture & Morality is undoubtedly the most beautiful opus group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), releasing a subtle alchemy of bittersweet lightness and sheer experimentation in which the English musical art is in its essence, unique moment where the meeting between beautiful melodies crying that only the British can generate with such ease. This album is full of melancholy beginning to end with melodies and a planing shape, stretched, with destruction of verse-chorus format, in a striking atmosphere foggy, misty, enigmatic ... The sound is superb, worked in retail Suddenly ample reverb and other electronic treatments of the time. Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys outdid themselves here and give the best of themselves and their cronies. Architecture & Morality demonstrates the successful cross between an idea of technological modernity and so effective simplicity of the new wave romantic. The superb compositions "Remembrance" and "Joan of Arc" and "Maid of Orleans" are timeless songs whose antiquated flavors have a mystical power. For the rest of the album, everything is as beautiful as the three tubes. "The New Stone Age" and "Sealand" make a pretty anxiety-provoking atmosphere with sounds of a relatively easy-listening pop very effective. The album closes with the astonishing beauty elegiac "The Beginning And The End" all combine to make this case a garden of delights to those who lost it to better recharge or so from it to another sphere experimental.
