OMD
Comment:
When OMD's best-known lineup re-formed to play a string of shows in 2007, the band began each evening with a rearranged run-through of their classic [i]Architecture & Morality[/i] album. To this day, it's the clearest example of the quartet's greatest strengths, from the wistful vocals and soft, pillowing keyboard progressions of "Souvenir" to the drone tones and punchy beats that cut into "Maid of Orleans." Of course, the band also touched upon its entire catalog, a towering collection of synth-pop that proves just how important the group is to the history of new wave and Liverpool-based music in general. While hit singles like "If You Leave," "Enola Gay," and "So In Love" never quite hit the same commercial heights as the city's other Fab Four,' they did establish OMD as one of the era's oft-overlooked stars.
