Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

OMD ở cuối thập niên 80 thập niên 90 sơ, trường kỳ bồi hồi với điện tử nhà giàu Virgin công ty kỳ hạ, cũng từng có quá khen ngợi như nước lịch sử, vì thế, chúng ta không ngại nhìn lại kia đoạn ngắn ngủi trải qua, thể nghiệm một chút kia hơi túng lướt qua sáng rọi.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark là một chi đến từ Liverpool dàn nhạc, lúc ban đầu từ Andy McCluskey ( BASS, chủ xướng ) cùng Paul Humphreys ( hợp thành khí ) tổ kiến, Malcolm Holmes cùng Martin Cooper ở 1980 năm cũng gia nhập đội ngũ, SYNTH-POP lưu phái, bọn họ âm nhạc phi thường vui sướng, nghe xong khiến người tâm tình sung sướng. Vui sướng tiết tấu cùng điện tử tấu ra phi thường kỳ diệu giai điệu.
Featuring the core members Paul Humphreys and Andy McCluskey, the Liverpudlian synth pop group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark formed in the late 70s. Humphreys and McCluskey began performing together in school, playing in the bands VCL XI, Hitlerz Underpantz, and the Id. After the Id split in 1978, McCluskey was with Dalek I Love You for a brief time. Once he left Dalek, he joined with Humphreys and Paul Collister to form Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. The group released its first single, Electricity, on Factory Records; the record led to a contract with the Virgin subsidiary DinDisc. Using their record advance, McCluskey and Humphreys built a studio, which allowed them to replace their four-track, and recorded with drummer Malcolm Holmes (formerly of the Id) and Dave Hughes (formerly of Dalek I Love You).
In 1980, the group released its self-titled debut album. Organisation appeared the same year, which featured the U.K. Top Ten single Enola Gay; Hughes was replaced by Martin Cooper after its release. The bands next few albums — Architecture and Morality (1981), Dazzle Ships (1983), and Junk Culture (1984) — found the band experimenting with its sound, resulting in several U.K. hit singles. Recorded with two new members, Graham and Neil Weir, Crush, their most pop-oriented album, found more success in America than in Britain as the single So in Love hit number 26 on the charts. If You Leave, taken from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, was their biggest American hit, climbing to number four in 1986. The Pacific Age was released the same year, yet America was the only country where it was popular. Shortly after its release, the Weir brothers left the band, followed by Holmes, Cooper, and Humphreys. McCluskey continued with the band, releasing Sugar Tax in 1991; in the meantime, Humphreys formed the Listening Pool.
After Sugar Tax failed to gain an audience, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark returned with Liberator in 1993, which also was ignored. It was followed three years later with Universal. The OMD Remixes appeared in 1998.
