Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark [OMD]: English Electric (2015)

Who would have thought that the year 2015 would bring one of OMD's best records? I am still stunned by how good this record is. It pays overt respect to Dazzle Ships and it also has a good deal of glossy electronic pop that would appeal to any OMD fan.

Night Cafe, on it's own, is magical, a return to some Architecture and Morality sounds, with a beautiful melody and polished electronic sound. My fav tune might be Metroland, which is a delicious Kraftwerkesque tune. On the other hand, Dresden is also pretty cool.

The question about Kissing the Machine is which is the better version, this or the 1993-original with Karl Bartos. It's a tough call, as they are so similar. This is an excellent record, which is a bit better the History of Modern.
