Free Music Notes for The Best of OMD
Free Music Review: Solid Collection -- Good Stuff
Hit: 4 Stars
An inexpensive way to get yourself a copy of most of OMD's best work.
Most of their classics on one disc. Good intro for the newbie.
Mix seems a bit bass-heavy to me but it sounds better that way--gives authority to the music and avoids the dreaded sharp vocals/shrill synths syndrome.
I used to disdain this band but now, having heard more of their work it's clear they are songwriting wizards casting their special style of sentimental spells with mastery.
The Best of OMD Poster
This collection of 16 OMD songs includes all their singles, including "If You Leave" (from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack) and "So in Love." OMD's sound is trademarked mostly by Paul Humphrey and Andy McCluskey's glassy-smooth vocals, along with harmonies that occasionally crack for dramatic emphasis but never shatter. The music is classic early '80s synth-pop, with swelling, hopeful strings and low-key tempos sugar-crusted to keep the songs rich but not totally fluffy. --Beth BessmerOut of print in the U.S. UK reissue of this 1988 compilation from the Liverpudlian Synthpopsters featuring two tracks not available on the original U.S. pressing: 'Telegraph' and 'Genetic Engineering'. Released at the height of their success, this collection spanned their career up to 1988, beginning with the 1980 single 'Electricity' and ending with 'Dreaming', a track recorded specifically for this collection (and the final track released from the original duo since they split up shortly after this album was released). 18 tracks including 'Messages', 'If You Leave', 'Tesla Girls', 'Enola Gay' plus bonus extended mixes of 'We Love You' and 'La Femme Accident'. Disky.
An Excellent Single Disc Compendium of One of the Original Electro Groups of the Postpunk Era. Their First Album on Dindisc Records Made a Big Splash in the UK and on College Radio in the USA VIRGIN/EPIC Tried to Release a Hybrid Record of their First Two Albums that Met with Moderate Success. But it Wasn't Until the Placement of "if You Leave" in the Motion Picture "Pretty in Pink" and the Decsion to Market Thru A&m Records that the Band Finally Cracked the USA Charts.
