Remember walking around with this blasting out of my ghetto blaster at the time to some very starange looks. Even got stopped by the police asking what the track was - happy times

"66 And Fading" is a synth track from "Silent Running" out of the "Dazzle Ships" album. To hear the original Synth track look at

[MadManzek]

it is "silent running" from dazzle ships playing backwards and slower. it´s awesome. a stroke of a genius. it is perfekt. with many many memories. good ones. a time, when they were touched by god

[TruhbleMan]

You got'uh like music that keep ya mind thinkin... Makes me think when I close my eyes...

[HardcoreNuttah]

beautiful video the photos really work well with this song

[Sunnywoman1968]

That shoulda said "traumatic"!!! ;-)

[Sunnywoman1968]

This is one of my all time favourite OMD songs. It takes me back to a special time in a special place when I was a child (and I also received a hand written letter from Mr McCluskey about a question I raised about 66 and Fading in said special place!!!) Wonderful choice, wonderful song - and finding this has put a smile on my face following a very taumatic weekend. Thank you sealandamber xxxxx

[sealandamber]

Thank You for Your nice words! :-)

Sorry for Your bad weekend, just hope, everything is OK now.

[szaborecoil]

mainly Mellotron, I think, plus Korg Presets

[mrd6376]

Breathtaking, thank you so much. Does anyone happen to know what synthesizer(s) was used on this track?

[dunx1964]

Thanks sealandamber I love your choices and videos. OMD's album tracks & b-sides are masterpieces on they're own.

The Avenue, Burning, 4-neu & many others are pure class. OMD are my all time fav band ever since I heard Messages I joined they're fan club.

Long live OMD

[crezz2]

YES YES YES YES!! I CAN DIE HAPPY! One of my altime favs.

[sealandamber]

But have You heard&seen Mr McCluskey's new project "The Energy Suite"? A pure instrumental masterpiece. Fabulous, brilliant, grand,... I've heard just some minutes of it, but it was enough to fall in love. Can't wait the new CD/DVD.

[RdAL333]

I do not only prefer it (and second it) !I'm immensly gratefull! I thougth there would be just Enola Gay and such... Thanx Amber. Do you know someone who uploaded more songs?

[sealandamber]

Here are lots of OMD videos. Just some of channels: djliberator31 and nigel2568 have splendid self-made videos, beamergeezer has many interesting slideshows for B-sides, flans44 - several official videos (BTW, he was a person, who discovered YouTube world to me! A virtual "Thank You"!;-) )

[32goldberg]

guess it was b-side on telegraph

in the end i liked it much more then the a-side!

kept on listening all night long.

thanks for posting!!!

p.s.: great picture-arrangement

[sealandamber]

I also prefer this song to "Telegraph"- here's much more soul&heart.

It's true about the B-side. But this one i took from the remastered "Dazzle Ships"- a superfantastic album.

[peak45]

I second that xxxxxxxxxxx

[beamergeezer]

Prefer it when people upload the `not so famous` OMD songs.

Nice one.
