OMD - Messages (Live at Hammersmith Apollo 2019) 

Forty years seemed unfathomable back then. Yet here we are, and you're right.

OMD went to see Kraftwerk when they were at the top of their game, then in the 80s, Kraftwerk returned the favour in seeing the competition they had. As much as I like one or two hits of Kraftwerk, I preferred to see OMD, and I have about 5 times.

Pas sûr. Il est des fois où on oublie le nom du groupe et après, quand on entend le titre, on se dit "cela me reviens". Certains de mes collègues (ils sont plus jeunes que moi) ne connaissaient pas (j'écoute mes disques au travail), et, quand ils entendent, me demandent des copies. OMD était clairement un excellent groupe. Ils ont été ouvertement influencé par KRAFTWERK (c'est en voyant un de leur concert qu'Andy Mc Cluskey a voulu jouer ce style de musique), mais, ils ont eu l'intelligence de ne pas les copier.

Kraftwork are the father of synth

But they are recognised. The more recent concerts are sell outs!

I like your passion 👍👏

Harsh bud..

one of those people that thinks higher pitch = better singing

They are 30 years older what do you expect , they sound pretty good to me. Maybe your hearing is gone a bit after 30 years tool

Great band love them ..from Mexico

Amazing how so many OMD fans cannot abide any criticism. Utterly bizarre. All bands have ups and downs in their career and people will have their own views on albums and singles. Hardly surprising. But anyone who voices anything even slightly critical is shouted down on You Tube. I have been listening to OMD since the early eighties and used to consider them my favourite band in the eighties although I now regard the concept as redundant and pointless. I don't think McCluskey's voice is particularly good live and thought this as far back as the eighties. I remember when a concert in America was broadcast on commercial radio in the UK in 1986 and I taped it. It was thrown away years later but I always thought it was not that good. I have seen them live three times ( once with the Philharmonic Orchestra in Liverpool). Again, I was not that impressed. I still think they have made some really good music over the years but the uncritical devotion of many of their fans is odd.
