Recommendations
Reviews
- A truly great album. Great songs and production. A coherent listen from start to end. Incorporating a bit of all the best of their past (Dazzle Ships sonic motifs in particular). One of their finest albums, and the best so far of their reformation work. Enough said.
- Nothing new under the sun here for OMD in the year 2013, as they were audibly recapturing their glory days of experimenting - the sleeve itself is an obvious restoration of "Dazzle Ships" artwork (with a touch of Haçienda) so it's not hard to imagine how "electric" some of the contents... happy though to hear them rediscovering their earlier selves - but yes, maybe a touch too late to sound as "cool" as this. Their first five ace albums released between 1980-84 still beat them at their own game.
- Kissing the machine is a song from ex-Kraftwerk man: Karl Bartos from his 1993 album - Esperanto. (The artist name is Elektric Music, later: Electric Music, later: Karl Bartos). That album is VERY highly recommended! One of the best electropop of all time.
This album adds nothing to the already existing OMD history, every track is a copy of an old OMD song you've already heard before. "Metroland" and "Kissing The Machine" are based on Kraftwerk's "Europe Endless". If OMD decides to make another album, they would need to team up with younger producers to pull it off and sound interesting.
