OMD Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Sister Marie Says (NEW DEMO 2010 ALBUM)

[Hyperflummi]

Great song! Similiar to former songs of OMD but fresh and new on the other side. Like it very much!

[101input]

der sound von 1980 zieht jetzt nicht mehr...schade,OMD!

[DanLoveBenchie]

Got the album... I can only say one thing: WELCOME BACK OMD! It's totally perfect!

[macjack9701]

Brilliant song , wish they had released this version , best song ive heard in the last year

[djmusicjac]

NEW WAVE is back! so totally pleased i love this sound, loving this eurodisco synth pop new wave sound from OMD

[Baibrook9907]

god i love this song :))

[topdog02007]

they just get better with age,never left there quality behind.

[Syntpop]

*** Sounds a little like Enola gay ***

[shobley]

Sometimes I think I haven't aged at all...



[MaxJodie]

omd a class act.........never fails to listen to them

[arabepalestino]

If I hadn't known this song is from 2010, I'd swear I was listening to a song from the 80's. Great!

[MillieeH4]

could we be in 1983 brilliant

[KLM452]

@MillieeH4 its a reworkimg of a 1981 song that didnt go anywhere due to them thinking it sounded too much like Enola Gay?.... great reworking though, and welcome back OMD!

[baddijo]

fantastic song!!!!

[Jimjam1212]

They have to release New Babies as their next single. It's the best potential hit they have made in ages and a fucking ace song. I think this is a bit a little bit too weak as a single, no offense. Do second singles do better than a first release..?...we'll have to wait and see.

[lene73]

wow is all i can say...this is bloody great,,,,still that omd sound,think the lyrics are beautiful.

[Jarv1s]

This is only the demo version. The album version is different.

[themute101]

Love this song,sounds like the like the early 80s

[GManGT]

I like the this song overall; but don't care for the religious theme.

[panther0567]

@GManGT why not? I don't understand why people are so prejudiced towards religious themes in music.

[scoobyjeff]

erm......... Ye listening to it a second time..... Its a grower :-D

more like the 90's OMD songs but i loved those, And anyhow i'll be buying the new album whatever :-D

[RheingoldxxL]

... sooo lange haben wir warten müssen ...

... so long we have to waite ...

... anyway, wats comming up

... i love my OMD now and ever!

[GORG3OUSNESS]

awsome!!!! still and always will be best band in the world

[MsTrekki]

sie waren natürlich nie weg :)

[RheingoldxxL]

@MsTrekki ... recht hat die Frau ... es gab nur hoehen und tiefen

... ich freu mich auf das neue Album!

[hotspace80]

WOW.

[Pommy381125]

I think this sounds very generic compared to their earlier poppier but darker work. I think they need to take a step back and examine what made that body of work so special. I suspect it was the very limitations both musically and technologically which made the sound so oddly dark and romantic - the real OMD fans want that not a remould of "If You Leave" etc. - I think "Walking on the Milky Way" got closest to this spirit and I guess that is purposeful as it is a song about retrospection.

[MsTrekki]

I love it

OMD ZURÜCK WIE GEIL IS DANN DENN

:) :) :)

[Grunzgurke]

@MsTrekki

Wie, waren sie denn weg ???

[RheingoldxxL]

@Grunzgurke ... stimmt ... siehe oben!

[richt1973]

Yes good track quote from Wikipedia "A free download demo track taken from the album called "Sister Marie Says"[3] was released on 25 November 2009[4]. Elements of the song were originally composed in 1981 and a reworked version of the track was due to appear on the 1996 album Universal but got shelved because it sounded too much like early OMD and was out of step with the more reflective tone of Universal. "

[hitfactorygera]

Wonderful! Sweet melody! I hope i can get the album very soon. Greetings from Germany

[leoho881]

Awesome !! Great song.

[electronippon]

WOW !!

[MrRobster2010]

Yes, there is a resemblence to the Universal stuff, old style OMD I can only find with a lot of imagination, maybe Enola Gay melodywise. But - I like it, can't wait for the album, the DVD with RLPO is brilliant, the A&M Tour was fantastic. Compared to all of those Casting Shows, OMD could pee in a tin and I would still prefer it.

[03D23036]

@MrRobster2010 "OMD could pee in a tin" 0o0 Like that,Must rememer to use it.

[terinhos]

This is not a SIN - What I´m going to say: This song it´s absolutely fantastic - Can't wait for the rest - Oh, yes! Love OMD.... I

[zpflmtznmnn]

Why demo version? It shouldn't be changed ! It's absolutely catchy and perfect !

[albertuseimers]

Fantastic, 32 years ago, debut performance of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark in October 1978.

And now a new album in 2010.

Great song.

[italianbutoh]

for always a real fan from florence italy of OMD and not for only enola gay, now i'm waiting finally a new album... MY GOD!!!!

[curroplastic]

Estoy emocionadísimo...esto huele, sabe, suena a los OMD de toda la vida, con los que me he criado, crecido y vivido.

Me encanta esta canción y tengo que conseguir el disco, como todos los que han lanzado, y, en casa los tengo...en un altar

[MultiCoventry]

i cant under stand how this could be old hat as most of the 60s 70s and partly 80s

scene broke new ground musically where as today 90s and the dreadful noughties make music that was done 30 years ago they cant write or establish music melody apart from the very few like perhaps coldplay etc...

[longlivecash]

Sorry but no!

I was a huge OMD fan in my youth, but this is old hat now.

[EiceEK]

Quality is never old hat.. All they have now is X-Factor.

I for one will be buying the new OMD album.

.

[MultiCoventry]

Id rather listen to omd to be honest legends in this field and a welcome return to form with this pre-single which is probably their best since pandoras box and anyway laroux rips off erasure and kraftwerk bulletproof is breathof life by erasure

[JonCantspell]

Huge OMD fan but come on, these chords have been played to death.

It's good but it's been done to death.

The main riff is like Enola Gay but played back to front.

"Sister Mary" doesnt sound as good as Joan of Arc, I wanted to learn about Joan via omd but Sister Mary sounds kinda boring.

OMD need to work with other people.

I would rather listen to LaRoux.

[curedtc4]

I do believe this song was originally made around the same time but was deemed too similar, so its expected to sound this way i guess.

[JonCantspell]

I know that but they should have left it in the past as it isnt very good compared to Enola Gay etc etc..

[InSynthesis]

Gorgeous. This album is long overdue

[palinlfc]

Quality, can't wait for the album.

[beamergeezer]

If the rest of the album is on a par with this, then it will be money well spent.

[RheingoldxxL]

@beamergeezer ... not all of them ... its mixed, some sounds like the good years of OMD, like the early 80s,

some soundes modern, but not bad

and some of the songs ...

[untied1000]

this song by omd is rather like one of their earlier creations, very melodic and tuneful.
