You know, it was just about exactly a year ago that I had myself an ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK itch that just demanded to be scratched. A quick post comprised of "Electricity," "Souvenir," and "Tesla Girls" proved a suitable salve. Today, though, we're venturing into their ballad-pop period -- and to the songs that are likely their best known. Nostalgia, anyone?
[MP3] [VID] "If You Leave" [1986]
[MP3] [VID] "Dreaming" [1988]
[MP3] [VID] "So in Love" [1985]
OMD ranks as one of the WORST concert experiences EVER. Lousy live; great on Memorex. Kind of sucked after making the transition from the full Orchestral name to OMD or after CRUSH, but who's counting? Where's "Le Femme Accident" or "The Native Daughters of the Golden West" ?!? :D
