Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Features

The Eccentrics

By PopMatters Staff

You need not be popular to break the rules, and you need not be popular to break your own conventions. Sometimes the very best music is being crafted right on the fringes of the mainstream, and it is for that reason that sometimes you will find some of rock music's greatest DETOURS. [1 August 2008]

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark: Dazzle Ships

By John Bergstrom

OMD's concept album about Cold War-era technology and tension was a flop upon its original release in 1983. But seen through modern eyes, it's a brilliant precursor to OK Computer. [17 April 2008]
