Bad video quality. But I´ve seen this performance live in Dortmund in May 1983, it was one of OMDs best concerts. Brilliant show to "ABC Auto Industry" -a song never could play live.
You had to hand it to them. They'd released their masterpiece Architecture & Morality two years earlier to massive critical and commercial aclaim and then recorded Dazzle Ships which confounded both critics and the public! They played this live on the DS tour but eventually dropped it as they kept missing their cues to start the next song, Genetic Engineering! This is brilliant though.
Brilliant, Thank-you for posting my favorite song from this album. It sums up the love/hate relationship with technology and the so called modern world.
The entire album is haunting, poetic, and beautiful. It is refined and rare remaining as potent today as it did years ago. Bravo.
Blew me at the time, blows me now. This album was just bliss. Shame hardly anyone got it. Imagine where they'd have gone with their sound if it had been successful. Not saying what they did after wasn't just as beautiful, but it would have been interesting to see what could've been
djbethell,your comment is so right. So many times I wondered what would have followed if this album had sold better. OMD were at the right path and it looked like they could have gone further up! Unfortunately "Dazzle Ships" closes Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 was beautiful pop but safe. The first 4 albums are all classics in every detail. Sound, lyrics, sleeve and stage set design,an amazing marriage of avant garde,experimentation and pop.
where can i download this for free?!

The last brilliant album they made. They jumped the shark after this.

Dazzle Ships is one of the greatest albums of the 80s. The great unwashed couldn't get their heads around it tho.

How audacious were they! It's scary to think that this is so old yet could easily be something produced yesterday. Nothing like it anywhere. Genius.
