Ira Robbins, Musician, 1985
Only one of the following two statements is true. Which? A) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark is a synthesizer duo, a pair of chilly intellectual technocrats playing electro-pop for eggheads. B) An OMD concert is a high-voltage, kinetic rock 'n' roll event, more conducive to non-stop dancing than detached observation.
