Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark "Architecture and Morality" (1981)
OMitD are one of those bands where I had heard their name plenty of
times but wasn't really familiar with them musically. Something about
them (maybe as simple as liking their album artwork or liking their name) made me really keen to
check them out.
The actual result fits in the "it's alright, but I wouldn't rush to
listen to it again" category. An album of synth-pop that the book
perhaps overhyped with its various Beatles comparisons: they're from
Liverpool and deliver their mix of pop and experimentalism in digestible
3 1/2 minute chunks.
I listened through a couple of times and none of
the music particularly stayed with me. There were parts where I
enjoyed a melody here or a synth-line there, but largely it passed me by
without too much fanfare.
Regardless, I would be willing to hear more from this band.
