OMD-"Electricity" (1979)



Martin Hannett produced this duo's track wonderfully.  The new-wave vocals sound amazing.  There are stories from those who worked with the drugged-out genius that they disliked his final results (namely Joy Division; early U2 did one single with him).   "Enola Gay" is another great OMD track worth checking out.  A local favortite band introduced me to OMD's "Joan of Arc" with its inclusion on their mix cd.  (That would have been a flawless mix if it wasn't for "Vogue".  Oh, well.)

  1. you know you have madonna's 'sex' book hidden somewhere in your bedroom. vanilla ice is in it, you know.

    on another topic, you should review matt dillon's first movie 'over the edge.'
