Suddenly I felt again like to music with analogue synthesizers, after then eigentlcih was no longer me over more than a decade of sense. Then I had OMD to mind that I was not bad, in my youth, but not so in the repertoire had. The early pieces (eg Messages, Electricity, Enola Gay, Joan of Arc, Genetic Engineering) are instrumented sparse and have for me still something revolutionary Us uncompromising technical, whose character I find just about magical and style icon of the early New Wave. . Unfortunately the band changed over the years to a mainstream Popcombo, which with a few exceptions (Talking Loud and Clear, Sailing on the Seven Seas) so sounds like German pop with English lyrics. Because of the great and in my opinion, unique early work I forgive still four points.
