Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark or OMD were a Liverpool synth pop musical ensemble which recorded for Virgin Records. Although there were other fulltime members, Andy McCluskey (bass/keyboards/vocals) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards) were the core of OMD through their most influential and successful period. OMD was one of the original "synth-duos" and is a classic of the genre. Initially very raw and unrefined, they quickly grew into a lush and well-orchestrated outfit. The first two albums were scattershot, but combined neatly into the U.S. compilation titled OMD highlighted by the songs "Messages", "Enola Gay", and "Electricity." The first single "Electricity" was released on Factory Records; their first big hit "Enola Gay", from the 1980 Organization LP, was produced by Mike Howlett. Discography
