Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

A somber, industrial-tinged masterpiece of early synth-pop. Cold mechanical rhythms meet deeply human grief in a landscape of analog warmth and grey skies.

June 29, 1980 · Dindisc

A heavy, industrial-tinged melancholy that finds strange beauty in cold machines and grey landscapes.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Organisation sound next to the rest of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's catalogue?
