OMD Return was a top story in August. Here it is again as we recap 2010: OMD (aka Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) first new album in 14 years, History of Modern, will be released September 28th.The US version of History of Modern contains the US only exclusive track, "Save Me," which features Aretha Franklin and is the album's first single.
One of the reasons OMD have called their brand new album – their eleventh – History of Modern is because they are acutely aware of what it is they're doing with this release. On paper, this is the UK synth-pop pioneers' first new material since 1996, but in spirit, History of Modern has more in common with the group's early '80s heyday, when Enola Gay and Souvenir, penned by two teenage Krautrock fans from the Wirral, lit up the charts and set the agenda for a bold new movement in British electronic music.
