E-Werk, Cologne, Germany11th November 2010
OMD
Talking about OMD (Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark) means talking about an important representative within the Synth Pop genre. In their early works it was more audibly than with most others that they had been influenced by early pioneers of electronic music KRAFTWERK. With the second album ‘Organisation’ came ‘Enola Gay’, a song that was meant to last, which even more goes for the evergreen ‘Maid of Orleans’ from the third effort ‘Architecture & Morality’. The track led the German charts for over 4 weeks and became their probably most famous song until today. But not always there’s been luck in the land of OMD.
The albums ‘Dazzle Ship’ and ‘Junk Culture’ were, regardless of their qualities, not remotely successful and obviously too experimental for the audience. But the trajectory pointed straight upwards again at some point. Sadly, that didn’t prevent the line-up from breaking apart. So the excitement was all the more rave when the announcement published that OMD would reform and do another album. That album called ‘History Of Modern’ was unleashed in September and is the reason for this legendary band to finally hit the road again and on 11th November OMD will serve the Cologne audience also a mixed bag of sings from across their long history.
