Customer Reviews for The OMD Singles Cd
Pop Music at its Best?
Rating:
I haven't taken this CD out of the player yet in a month. I bought the CD because as a teenager in the UK I remembered all the early singles and being a sad 40-something year old now, I wanted to re-live my youth a little.
If the early tracks are good (they are), the later singles are even better. The CD chronicles the changing musical direction of a band that perfected the pop single. It's a great collection without any fillers - there's not a bad track to be found.
I think OMD represent 80's and early 90's pop music at its very best. This isn't throw-away, bubble-gum pop music. It sounds as good today as it did 25 years ago.
My wife likes it, even my two kids love it - it doesn't get any better than this.
Editorial Reviews for The OMD Singles Audio Cd

After releasing "Electricity" in 1979, OMD quickly became one of the more influential electro-pop bands to emerge from England. While the premise of a singing synthesizer duo may now be a fairly conventional concept, Andy McClusky and Paul Humphreys had very few role models when they first developed their unusual style. This package pulls together two full decades of OMD's distinctive pop craftsmanship. From the early sounds of "Enola Gay" to radio classics like "Joan of Arc" and "Souvenir," OMD's polished, dramatic readings influenced everyone from Depeche Mode to the Pet Shop Boys. Late-'80s tunes like "If You Leave" and "(Forever) Live and Die" round out this collection. While not displaying all the more offbeat aspects of OMD's music, this package certainly delivers the hits. --Mitch Myers
