OMD - Live in Glasgow 1983
By the time this concert took place less than five years later, they had already notched up six top twenty singles and three top ten albums in the UK.
Not bad for a band, whose electronic and partly Kraftwerk influenced music, was often very different from the mainstream at that time.
In fairness founders Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys had an ear for a good tune, and with the likes of former Gong bassist Mike Howlett producing some of the material, they had every chance of the success they achieved.
When I first heard ‘Messages’ I was blown away, having been a fan of the likes of Germany’s Can, Kraftwerk, and Amon Duul, at last an English band with enough personal originality was coming up with really classy electronic music, yep this band bring back fond musical memories for me.
Live the band are really good, a little more funky, with a closeness to the original songs, without allowing the technology to dampen a live concert buzz.
