Two CD edition. 2019 collection from the synthpop maestros. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark continue their 40th anniversary celebrations with Souvenir, a compilation spanning the band's 40-year career. This includes all the singles from 'Electricity' to 'What Have We Done', as well as the exclusive brand new single, 'Don't Go'. Written and produced by both Paul and Andy, and recorded at Bleepworks in London, the new song 'Don't Go' melds together the plaintive melancholia of McCluskey's lyrical refrain and the soaring synth melody from Paul Humphreys, combining to create the classic style of OMD. OMD have sold an astonishing 25 million singles and 15 million albums, which has established them as electronic synthesizer pioneers and one of Britain's best-loved pop groups.
