Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

UK first press 1980. Record plays well.
Debut OMD and an absolute synth pop blueprint. Cold melodic minimalist and way moodier than people remember. This is that perfect mix of post punk edge and early electronic experimentation where every drum machine hit sounds like it came straight from a forgotten lab. Proper iconic record that still feels futuristic even though it came out when your da still had hair. FFO Gary Numan, The Human League, Ultravox, John Foxx, Kraftwerk
