OMD - RADIO WAVES

[MrJah323]

Classic OMD!!! Love it.

Una de las mejores canciones de los primeros años de OMD.

[Druffmaul]

One of my favorite songs from my youth, back in the early 1980s, a couple of years before KROQ jumped the shark with all of the godawful nu-ro bullshit. I just read that Radio Waves is actually an updated version of a song by The Id, i.e. Humphreys and McCluskey's previous band in the 70s. Would KILL to hear the original.

[KeepMusicking]

The album got horrible reviews and lost them fans in droves, but DAZZLE SHIPS was one of my favorites of all time along with Junk Culture.

[pepsidruid]

@KeepMusicking it was one of my favs also...this song blew me away in the early 80s...just saw them in concert like amonth ago....was a dream come true...they even played this song....:)

[leestockton23]

this is feckin brilliant love the early stuff esp telegraph great post!!!!!

[SamLowerySF]

Yep - Oakalnd Fox theater show was great!

[BIGINSF]

Brilliant! They were also Brilliant 3/26/11 in Oakland CA. Great show!

[SpammerOvTheGods]

i just got home from their detroit area show. this was the fourth song of the night.

:D

#@!

[frontierjetrio]

dude...this is serious OMD!!!!!!

[arcadeleah]

Amazing album my all time favourite OMD record

[eddycasillas]

wow this is awesome its like a 70's indie band! its sooo cool now this is music

[seekingnewhorizons]

Years of light Ahead of their time.!!

[palinlfc]

Quality, and they are touring with a brilliant new album.

[MegaGentoo]

Class pure class, saw them recently "supporting" Simple Minds at Wembley arena, the Minds were fantastic but I would happily have left content with the brilliant OMD set....roll on Brighton Dome...

[AshBrownVidz]

Pure class. I can't think of many other bands who consistently bridged the gap between experimental and pop, and brilliantly. For me it all ended with Crush. Intrigued to hear their new stuff where they claim to be thinking like they did in their early days. Hmmm...

[zivoderac]

Овакве песмице ме врате у младос`...Bravo момци ! (иако ни они то више нису).

[richt1973]

Agree with below poster - last truly great album they did. Another good track

[stephenp1968]

My favorite from this album, along with Radio Prague.

[lyallbaybum69]

Another great OMD gem...

[henryhetzerII]

Kiddy dance club called "Kingdom of the Dancing Stallions" Beach Blvd, those where the days, loved dancing to this. Now its called Midevil Times.

[noizy4]

Les cerises noires qui leur procurent les Roland CR-78 sont transformés en confiture qui finissent souvent aussi dans des Andy McLuskey pour gâteau basque ou devenir un accompagnement merveilleux de fromage de OMD de brebis bonne. Chaque famille a sa propre recette jalousement Fairlite CMI pour Gâteau basque. Il peut être rempli de crème pâtissière ou, comme c'était l'usage dans l'antiquité, la confiture de cerises noires Itxassou.

[depechemodevilla]

A mi tambien me gustan estos cabrones!

[centellas07]

¡Me encanta OMD!!!... los llevo en mi corazón desde que los conocí en 1982, cuando tenía 15 años y era feliz escuchándo su música!!!

[punkillo]

Que raro ver comentarios en español! A mi también me encantan desde niño y tuve la oportunidad en 2007 de poder verlos en vivo. Era una espinita clavada que me quité por fin. Ahora los vuelvo a escuchar porque he formado una banda y ellos siempre son fuente de inspiración y recursos.

[darkmaster2x]

Excellent New Wave!

[MannaMachine69]

This video is quite splendid. Well done. Classic track too from their greatest album.

[henryhetzerII]

Dazzle ships... their best album, but it almost sank them. Brings back memories of sitting in my room with my mind wandering and pondering. Such simulating music for the brain. More than human celestial

[henryhetzerII]

More than human, celestial. Rather.

[abagail4me]

Awesome track.IMHO "Dazzle ships" was the last decent album they made.Sorry to offend nay sayers.

[Stiletos]

@abagail4me Actually saying Dazzle Ships (1983) was their last decent album makes you the negative "nay sayer", not the people who enjoy their later works such as Junk Culture or some of the great songs scattered on the later albums.

[moeran1944]

OMD were one of the 'cerebral' bands of the 80s, like Japan and Eno. They had their own totally unique voice and, apart from the pop songs they produced, they had some intelligent lyrics and some lyrical tunes. Listen to Organisation - it's melancolic and very evocative. Architecture and Morality - beautiful songs throughout. They seemed to have a 'thing' for Eastern Europe and industry and old-fashioned radio (or shortwave) it seemed to me. I saw them twice live, and they were just great.

[googoobh]

This is a fun yet very full sound.

[ajittffcure]

Interesting song.

[krafterk]

such a great album!

anyone who likes electronic music must listen to this album

greetz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luisonlinemarch]

@krafterk Sure my friend Kraftwerk...

[MidwestMidnight]

Lame, I thought this was a Roger Waters cover.

[Jhensy2001]

Awright!! Great tune.

[03D23036]

I had dazzel ships on cassette in the eighties but the car stereo chewed it up.

I hate cassettes.

[InSynthesis]

Then go and buy the digitally remastered reissue and rediscover what a fantastic album it is.

[03D23036]

NO need I have on vinyl. digital is very clean but but has no life.

[jimmyfatpuss]

Never got the recognition they deserved. Great band, way ahead of the rest. Perhaps the singles they released for general consumption, weren't representative of their true worth. I loved them back in 79 and still love them now, just a shame they had a split in the 90's and got lost in the dross of that era, when bands disappeared and manufactured tripe took over. Every album they have done, i have liked in its own way and listening to it now is as good as the first time, but with added memories.

[leestockton23]

i agree with everything you say i love OMD for sum reason in this country were never popular but i still think that even in the 90s andy done really well sith SUGAR tax

[InSynthesis]

I couldn't agree more. OMD's singles represented their more commercial side but for me OMD's strength was in their album tracks, choice of abstract subject matter, imagery and soundscapes and the fact that they did not subscribe to the designer suits and make-up brigade. They simply were themselves, unique and irreplaceable.

[InSynthesis]

Brilliant!!!! Good to see Dazzle Ships getting some exposure. Fantastic album way ahead of its time.

[leestockton23]

well with dazzle ships getting released its gonaa happen went 2 see omd last year n they were fantastic

[InSynthesis]

Absolutely right they were fantastic. I've been an OMD fan for 28 years and was totally blown away when I saw them in London last year. Their first five albums are their best work but I've got a collection of their material covering all ten albums and some B sides on my channel. Good to see younger people getting into OMD, they are so talented yet one of the most underrated bands this country has ever produced.

[leestockton23]

yeah i went to newcastle and liverpool last year always been a big fan of 80s music big country AFOS etc... great to see others sharing my view :)

[leestockton23]

have you got garden city anywhere at all mp3 or anything i thort thats was a brill sample song

[chumbersdee]

Thanks for posting. I looked this song up a few months back and found nothing. Good to hear it again

[ffm20zaheri]

[nigel2568]
