Library Rock's Backpages

AUDIO: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (1988)

John Tobler, Rock's Backpages audio, 11 February 1988

OMD's Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys talk about their just released "best-of" album; its accompanying video compilation, and making videos from back in the day to now; the bad contracts they signed, and various management issues; their not-very-good book; having a consistently bad press, but also their longevity; being seen as an electro-pop band, and the ethics of sampling; not doing cover versions, and their veneration of Kraftwerk and Eno.
