Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, one of the UK's most iconic bands, are back with their first new album in 14 years, the appropriately entitled 'History Of Modern'. And what a return, Q's 4* review hailed the album as “soaring synth pop of the highest order”

The album was produced by OMD and mixed by one of the UK's most in demand producers Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys/Blood Red Shoes/Razorlight). The music sees a return to the band's early pioneering electronic roots, a sound that is now recognised as being a major influence on many of today's electro artists. The likes of LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, The XX and The Killers have all cited OMD as a massive inspiration
