i do love this song, good combination of rythmn, beat and lyrics..good speed too..great dance song and great for anything else, driving..in fact this is on my rotation for working out now..thanks for posting
I remember their wonderful performance supporting Gary Numan at Newcastle City hall back in 1980! This song was one of many highlights in their set - Messages and Red Frame White Light being among the others! It was weird seeing a three piece band where one of them was a TEAC reel-to-reel tape machine called Winston! The first two OMD albums are complete masterpieces - well worth acquiring! I will never ever tire of hearing this tremendous song - it still sounds fresh and vital today!
I saw OMD and Human League the same week in NYC last month...and OMD WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. One of the BEST shows I have seen in years. Human League was okay...
that haunting keyboard riff still mesmerizes me. This was the golden age of indie music... 1979 to 1981. Music had grown beyond punk, but had not yet became the commercialized, big-hair cliched '80s. 1980... To me they will always be ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK not OMD. I suspect the name OMD was coined for the American market, as the former was too complex.
Awesome! One of my favorites. Touring N.A. now and close with this song. What's amazing is they wrote this song in 1976. If you consider what was playing on the airwaves in 1976, this was pioneering work. Also listen to the lyrics. They reject nuclear power, hydroelectric power (HEP), fossil fuel energy, and praise solar electricity as the cleanest fuel of all. In 1976! 35 years later, we are still dealing with the same debate and only now just starting to use solar power.
I love the way 'Electricity and Gas' Google Adds appear when I watch this. I wonder if OMD predicted they're be helping energy companies make money 30 years later !! It wouldn't surprise me if they did, they were that cool !
Now this is a classic!! Most of today's music is shit! Whatever happened to music that actually had meaning, not who has the most money and bigger house. That's it, I've had enough. I'm gonna get in my Delorean and go back to the 80's haha
What a classic!
