Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Junk Culture

Pre-Order. Due for release 20th June

OMD’s 1984 hit album receives the treatment recently afforded to its two predecessors, Architecture & Morality and Dazzle Ships: remastered from the original ½ inch reels and cut at half speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Still very much active (their last album – No. 2 in the UK, No. 7 in Germany – was issued in 2023), Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), founded by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, emerged from Liverpool in the late ‘70s and are rightly regarded as one of the more original of the so-called ‘synth pop’ outfits of the following decade.
Notably also one of the more successful, they have enjoyed at least 20 hit singles across Europe and beyond, with total sales of around 40 million records to date.
