The album features a guest appearance from former Propaganda/Act vocalist Claudio Brucken. Artwork is by Peter Saville. Features 'Metro land' and 'Atomic Ranch'. Review: OMD are back! - After the other members of OMD left in the late 80s, the later releases with just Andy on board were, IMO, bad dance/club type music. My taste in music tends to be more guitar/live instrument based simply because there are very few synth oriented bands who's music really stands up over time without sounding dated. OMD's early output was original with great melodies and a soulfulness in Andy's vocals. I've missed that band and was happy to hear that Paul, Malcolm and Martin were returning a few years ago. History of Modern was a step in the right direction, but IMO didn't live up to OMD's early output. I ordered the vinyl version of English Electric (which comes with a cd of the album as well), put it on and it's like hearing a long lost classic OMD record - beginning to end. It's a perfect beginning to end album. It sounds so fresh (dare I say, youthful?). I'm not an "80s music" guy. Quite a few great bands/artists came out of that decade but I've always bought new music and kept an interest in new bands - particularly more rock oriented bands. The only reason I mention that is to make the point that this is a great record period rather than simply a "retro" record with limited appeal to 80s music fans (though it would certainly appeal to those as well). Great music is timeless, and this album has that timeless quality about it. After seeing some clips of OMD performing this year at Coachella and hearing English Electric - OMD have, in my mind, gone from being simply a band who got back together to make some new music to a band who are hungry and vital again. I hear their live shows have been awesome (and I believe it after seeing the Coachella clips) and wish they would tour the southern U.S. so I could check them out live for myself. English Electric is a welcome surprise. Really thought OMD's best days were long behind them but they've kicked that notion down the road. Review: LOVE this! - I can't even make it clear through the CD yet since I keep putting a few of the songs on repeat (as I'm driving to and from work). It's great to enjoy their sound with some new and very compelling music. Having listened to them as a teen (in the 80's) it's interesting how much I find myself connecting to the lyrics of this- "the future that you anticipated has been cancelled..." is not something that a younger band would write- that's for certain. But it's all the more enjoyable as a result. I also find the line from one of the songs that states, "the future is a shadow of today" to be very compelling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B8PRDBA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (410) | | Date First Available | February 20, 2013 | | Label | Alliance Entertainment | | Manufacturer | Alliance Entertainment | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 5.55 x 4.97 x 0.54 inches; 4.48 ounces | ## Images ![English Electric - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41pmIZDcuXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMD are back! *by T***E on May 30, 2013* After the other members of OMD left in the late 80s, the later releases with just Andy on board were, IMO, bad dance/club type music.
