Comment:
Before sliding so abruptly downhill, OMD were the sharpest synth pop act of the decade we are obliged to call the 80s. Recognise. The fact that it is patently insane to attempt to cull the best songs from a work of perfection like "Architecture & Morality" *did* deter me from doing this at first, but I eventually decided it'd still be beezer to sort out a cracker wee set featuring songs from the first four albums and including two B-sides of the singles taken from those albums. Thus and so.Feedback:
Today I realised that I'm going to have to change a line/image in a-song-what-I-wrote because Neil Young used exactly the same line/image in a-song-what-HE-wrote for ON THE BEACH. Now, I got ON THE BEACH on Saturday. And I wrote the words for this song right back at the start of the month. I'm annoyed that I have to change the line ... but still, clearly I rawk like nobody's business, because my mind is wired up in the same way as Neil bloody Young's, despite him singing in a voice that's naturally, like, seventy-two octaves higher than mine. (I know this isn't relevant, but I don't know enough about OMD to praise the mix in any constructive way. Um. I like the title.)
