Hello and welcome back...OMD first single was back in 1979 with the song "Electricity", a quirky synth driven song that would start this band to one of the best loved bands of the 80s.
Going under the banner of "New Wave" this band from England U.K was founded by Andy McCluskey (vocals, synth, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (vocals, synths) later adding Malcolm Holmes (drums, percussion ) and Martin Cooper (synths , sax ).
The best of OMD includes hits like "Enola gay", "tesla girls", "if you leave", "we love you" and my pick of the album "dreaming". which basically sums up my teenage years in the 80s, I quote the chorus from "dreaming" =
I was only Dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said "goodbye".
So, so true.
