Synth Pop / Indie / Alternative Dance
English Electric, is OMD‘s second album since their hiatus, but it’s the first one to truly justify their reformation. Lead singer Andy McCluskey may be in his fifties, but his vocals have been left untarnished by age, with his voice sounding just as wonderfully melodramatic as it did in the ’80s. He hits some big notes on this album, especially on lead single “Metroland”, and even backing vocalist Paul Humphreys gets a showcase of his singing chops on the evocative ballad “Stay with Me”.
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - English Electric (2013) {Sony Music Japan SICP 3810, bonus tracks}
One of the highlights of the album is the stunning “Kissing the Machine”, a track originally written by McCluskey and ex-Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos for the 1993 album Esperanto. There’s a distinct Kraftwerk influence throughout the whole album (the beginning of “Metroland” is so obviously “Europe Endless” it hurts), but “Kissing the Machine” is the perfect marriage of Kraftwerk’s melodic electronica and OMD’s pop sensibilities.
The album suffers lyrically somewhat from asinine lines like “Helen of Troy / Black and white / Cries all day / Cries all night”, but the joy of synthpop lies primary in the musical hooks–and this album’s brimming with them. Half way through “Our System”, there’s a great drum explosion that channels “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, and the song “Dresden” is the most OMD have sounded like the band that made “Enola Gay” since they cut that track over 30 years ago – even down to the WWII-inspired title.
English Electric appears to be a concept album about some robotic utopia, with Laurie Anderson-style interludes featuring computerised voices talking about “the perfect life” and what the future will look and sound like. They relate somewhat to songs on the album, like the idea of a robot wife and the aforementioned “Kissing the Machine”, but more than that they seem to complement the sound of OMD – the idea that musicians had in the ’70s of encapsulating the future using synthesisers and robotic rhythms.
In that respect, you could say that the whole album is a grand, pompous ode to the ’80s. But it’s also well-executed, well-produced, and well worth a listen.
