Junk Culture - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark [VINYL]
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), founded by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, emerged from Liverpool in the late '70s and are rightly regarded as one of the more original of the so-called 'synth pop' outfits of the following decade. Notably also one of the more successful, they have enjoyed at least 20 hit singles across Europe and beyond, with total sales of around 40 million records to date. 'Junk Culture' is their fifth album, released 30 April 1984. It featured another Peter Saville-designed sleeve but was a consciously more melodic effort than its experimental predecessor (Dazzle Ships) and was a significant success, charting across Europe and hitting the top 10 at home in the UK. Produced by the band and Brian Tench (with additional contributions by Tony Visconti), it was recorded at a variety of locations including AIR Studios in Montserrat, which had a newly-acquired, state-of-the-art Fairlight CMI sampler keyboard, and Wisseloord in Hilversum, Netherlands. As intended, 'Junk Culture' returned OMD to the upper reaches of the singles charts too, with 'Locomotion' (top 5 in the UK and top 10 across Europe), 'Talking Loud and Clear' (No. 11 in the UK, top 5 in Belgium, the Netherlands and Ireland), and the club hit 'Tesla Girls' (No. 21 in the UK, No. 8 in the Netherlands). All three remain live favourites.
