Members bikehorn Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 So, over the past year or so i've been kind of revisiting the 80's electronic and pop stuff i grew up hearing (my brother and sister were kids of the 80's). So my music collection has grown to include large quantities of Depeche Mode, New Order, Peter Gabriel, The Smiths, etc....and especially OMD. holy crap, these guys make me want a vintage analog synth or 8! the songs are so catchy, the synth tones are so captivating and the structure/production on all these OMD discs was brilliant. i've collected some digitally, others on vinyl...so far, i have their Self Titled album, Organisation, Dazzle Ships, Architecture & Morality, Liberator and The Pacific Age...ahhhh i can't stop listening to them these days. so unlike anything else. anyone else a fan? i seem to recall Jazz Ad posting a thread or two about them like 2 or 3 years ago.

Members greenshag Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 you know, I caught a Charlatans UK video yesterday on VH1classics, and damn, I had forgotten how much I used to like those guys when I was a freshman in HS...brings back memories:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted October 13, 2005 CMS Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 You're all a decade late. Listen to ELP if you really want to hear it done right. My first ever rock concert was those three insanely talented bastards at Madison Square Garden, with the a full symphony orchestra. Holy {censored}. Every concert since has been anticlimactic....

Members FreestyleIntruder Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 Always get confused between OMD and ELO for some reason... bikehorn, software synths have come a LONG way and can get pretty damn close to those analogue ones now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
