OMD - History of Modern (part I) - Official Video

[lemmi1968]

one of the best OMD Tunes ever... really, really good...!

[newwavedave67]

awesome ; ^ ]

[iansmithphotos]

Simpy beautiful, they have gone back to their roots and found that spark again!

[iansmithphotos]

@iansmithphotos - just realised it does rip off James 'Ring the Bells'....

[LittleEmoDancer]

Another example of a band once thought safely sealed away in the 80's breaking down the door of the 90's to prove their skill yet again in the new millennium.

[medazaman]

I love the pace of this track, pure 80s sound but with a twist of modernism. Sheer class, but then again, what else would you expect from the boys. My only gripe though with this edited release version is that its too stripped down, musically anyway, and seems a bit hollow sounding. they should have released the album version, its far superior in all round sound. Still though, not complaining, its a welcome return of one of the best synth \ electronic bands of that great decade where they ruled.

GREAT SONG FROM AN OUTSTANDING LP

[TheGarylam]

that was very good song from OMD

[pxncho]

[TheUdoma67]

'm Over 40 and find the video already super ... But life in berlin horny absolute

[mageemusic]

Love it..., just L-O-V-E it!!!!

Classic OMD!

[yrsokul]

3:19 of pure heaven. I've been a fan for the past 30 years. With Paul and without OMD has alwasy been my true favortie. Welcome back together guys!!!!!

[MrRik2]

0:27 - Titles to 'Absolutely', anyone?

[TheEmptytube]

nice english



[L0Umeister]

This video is really really good !

[jademm]

2:10-2:15 Why is the phrase "There will be no song" a registered trademark?

[MrRik2]

@jademm I think it's an ironic comment on the subject of the song.

[jademm]

This video is cool.

[ChimairaFan12]

I'm 20 years old, and was brought up on this band through the 90's. Nowadays, I still have a large spot in my heart for all of them along with Sparks and Ultravox. I've only just seen that these guys are still going and I'm loving the revival!

[TheEmptytube]

amazing. typical OMD, dating to their birth. melodies, perfect, hitting home,

[cryerri]

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hedgehog0209]

I love the way Elektric Music's album "Esperanto" (in which Andy McCluskey sings Kissing The Machine) pops out of the box at around 3:05

[majce69]

I just love their latest History of Modern,great as is all their work!

[challesboy]

Wauuuuuu! I saw them a couple of weeks ago in Esbjerg DK. They are still absolutely fantastic. My first time to see them live and they did a very great show!! Go on OMD, You deserve this!! Love from Denmark...;O)

[ExcitingValence]

Great Sound

[AMBASSODOR]

Classic song , CLASSIC OMD

[kubarebo]

The video is quite well done, shows some great writing and animation. It has a good retro feel to it, and plenty of ideas went into making it. The ink drawings are beautiful in their simplicity. And of course naked bratz rule!

[mmmax111]

wow... this video includes awesome moving pictures, ghosts with shoes on and naked bratz dolls O_o

[clivedavinci]

bad ass synth. great writing

[cirius32832]

Nice to see the tesla girls again and in the scene with the car and the bridge you find the "autobahn" cover from kraftwerk.

[lolotiti44]

GENIAL!!! Magnifique clin d'oeil aux albums préçédent!

[spottydogg]

Bloody typical, Great tune! Great video! Great Band..doesn't get played on the radio becuase the charts are now dominated with Lady GaGa pish!

[1969grau]

@spottydogg totally agree w/ you all they play are bunh of crap.

[Rowlando7887]

New tune, old band (used to be called Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark, hence OMD). Interesting video.

Row

[Pumeteo]

It´s very unfortunately, this amazing song which is not played at the radiostations and mostly unknown. Only fans are lucky about it...

[Sandyb7771]

Great video wish they would play there music on the radio here.

[susub75]

This video is cool. It's not every day you see a globe with the geographhical names in Swedish on YouTube. The makers work in Jönköping, my home town.

[Garraelius]

SOmething new from OMD, and still as great as always :-)

[becc120]

Your music makes me smile : ). Thanks for coming to Salt Lake City.... come back soon. 

[0712331]

OMD- Great sound!

[omdlenka]

Podařený video :o)

[Pacalo]

Classic 80's sound, animation and vinyl records...it can´t be better!!! perfect!

[TheDennis72]

hey hey hey cool cool cool OMD FOREVER

[JesusCarlosSanchez]

Eighties ended 21 years ago.

But sounds like OMD definitely ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

i was born in 1974, but this style i like it: OMD, Pet Shop Boys, Heaven 17, Duran Duran, Ultravox and more

Jesus Carlos Sanchez

Mexico DF

[belgiumSteve]

@JesusCarlosSanchez :i was born in '74 also, and OMD,Pet Shop boys,heaven 17,Duran Duran,Ultravox etc etc are my favorite bands also !!! Hahaha

[themoonlitroad]

Very cool...love this move by OMD (and Duran Duran) to let the fans direct their videos. Wouldn't be surprised to see more artists do this.

[LUCKYGUYHH]

such a great tune & video! Hope this will bomb the charts!!

[zpflmtznmnn]

@LUCKYGUYHH

I don't believe that. No radio station plays it. It's just for the fans of that time - the youth is just into the trash you can see in the charts. (sorry for my bad english...)

[KeepMusicking]

@zpflmtznmnn Some of their songs got played on Sirius XMU, but no, it's not the airplay they used to get. I comment about that in my coverage of their trip to LA. Please check out the album review:

[purpssss4]

Best video I have seen in awhile. Up there amongst my favs. Last one that grabbed me, so much, was Sia's "Breathe Me". This is superb!!!!

[xPineberry]

bombastic video! <3

[Pumeteo]

Listen to OMD´s extended Mix of HoM1. Bombastic fantastic :)

[rikusshadow56]

Jesus I wonder how long it took to make this video.

[heida200]

The good old OMD :) Love it! This is the soul of OMD, it´s like listening to all of their music at once...

[agrayak]

At 2:30 the 'stage scenery' is very similar to the cover of Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn'.

[worlds99]

Billiant vid :-))))) <3

[AMBASSODOR]

Classic OMD song love this band

[MissKristi99]

This tune and video are both absolutely briliiant-it is so refreshing to have OMD back with us in such harmonious good form! I love the sentiment of this song and how the music keeps propelling us forward into an upbeat celebration of life. OMD's sound is updated, but true to their signature sound; they use layered sythesizers and vocal harmonies to paint a story here. The fast moving pop-art video has a naivate' and romance about it that should charm the socks off old and new OMD enthusiasts!

[storegustaf]

I love the song and the video. As a Swede I can also be proud of the Volvo and the candy Hallonlakritsskalle and Surskalle, Raspberry Liqourice Skull and Sour Skull, that are featured. Hallonlakritsskalle is my fave candy, btw. :)

[velehof]

Classy and smooth.

[bsynth8]

Amazing video for the best track on the new album!

[guadalupita73]

what a wonderful video! Thanks OMD for coming back!!!

[pondy1958]

[dafdaffer1]

[LaLuna7609]

Love this song!

[Pumeteo]

great new single, I hope it will chart :)

[djkenny]

major props! excellent video.

[conorferguson]

great track... is this new?

[willefootball]

They are still the best! Much better than the most music you can hear on the radio today... RESPECT!!!

[Sunnywoman1968]

Absolutely bloody awesome. OMD were THE best back in 1979 when I started to follow them, and no modern day crap can hold a torch to these guys.... an absolute bunch of heroes of mine :-))

[peak45]

@Sunnywoman1968 How right you are iv`e spotted pandoras box and telegraph so far in the vid bloody great hope you ok

Wayne ..............................

[Transmissions09]

Brillliant !!! Just great to have OMD back on the music scene, the History of Modern and music from all there albums can be found playing at Transmissions Radio

[AllotaFaginas]

woo - right near the end I spotted an Elektric Music CD of the album Esperanto - have a search on "Kissing The Machine" - it's brilliant, and should have been a single!

[shefftop]

WOW....FANTASTIC VID, AWESOME SONG...THANK GOD FOR OMD !!

[commonergirl]

This video is just so fun to watch. I find something I've missed before each time. Well done!

[javieryafo1]

Fantastic video!!! Brilliant!!!! Thank you guys, you are the best!!!! :D

[noelreverberation]

fantastic

[fictionfactorygera]

Top Video! I only miss the reference to "Listening Pool". But it is a brilliant work!

[M64ainda]

Brilliant. I hope there'll be a way to get all the new OMD videos.

What great new album... and congratulations, Lapantafilm. Beautiful work.

[dancortese2006]

Fantastic.

[alexfad242]

OOOO!!!MMMM!!!DDDD!!! EEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!! HI from Moscow!!!

[Eltoca21]

Welcome back folks...

[anjasgoldie]

It is rather chaotic but clearly a lot of effort has been made in putting it all together.I like it.

[thelichtermann]

Hearing the video was so much effort I am sorry to say it was not worth the work in my eyes. I dont like the chaos, flee-market-style. The song eserved a better video, besides I am not a fan of the song was well. OMD was much better when it was a solo project some years before. Sorry to say - and for sure - maybe just my opinion. The album was uninspiring and i got vry bored on all that extra special super limited edition stuff and different versions, But what a great voice!!!

[JohnH108]

CD at 3:05 Esperanto by ELEKTRIC MUSIC Karl Bartos ex Kraftwerk excellent CD, Andy appears on that.

[omdlenka]

SUPÉÉÉÉÉÉR !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jarv1s]

Love the song, love the vid, love the album.

[marpsr]

great song and video!! the dolls rule!

[karlvonschlagend]

Good and modest video, economical, that probably catch the spirit of the song, given the seniority of the act.

BTW, and let me know if I've made a mistake: is a Volvo 242 the car showed in this video? Logical due to Lapantafilm are also from Sweeden.

Finally, Dazzle Ships album and Elektric Music - Esperanto, inside the Pandora's box... there cannot be the slightest doubt: is a conspiratorial wink to the pioneer electronic music.

[croftonjohn]

my fav. from album.I hope they decide to come back to Ireland soon.Their new album is not been played enough on radio. Radio stations are too formulized. Give dj's the power to play good music, not formatted stuff.....

[sendalittlesign]

nice one, one of the highlights on the album, and now on a continental video :)

[funkyphil100]

great song & great video, well done, love the tune

[max430]

NOT a rubbish song. NOT a rubbish video. Perhaps the second sentence is true, i dunno.

[AjrimmerMr]

Rubbish song and video. I was really disappointed by the album.

[Jarv1s]

@AjrimmerMr

I think you're the only one who thinks that about the song, video and album. Yet to meet anyone who dislikes the album especially. But we are all entiled to our own opinion.

[RealMashira]

Cool vid! Love the dancing Andy :D

[JohnH108]

Love the vid guys

[RelentlessRecordings]

Yeah! for the Casio VL-1. Great Video

[albertuseimers]

Greatest song of cd History of Modern needs a great video.

Nice work, well done.

[feline1973]

Splendid! My favourite bit is the dolls dancing on the trumpet. :)

[giedriuss]

now... THIS IS AWESOME!

[alfn8]

amazing!

[omdguy]

Wow, I mean just, WOW! That is absolutely brilliant! Unfortunately I have work to do or else I could sit here and watch this another 20 times today :-)

Fantastic work Bo, utterly fantastic!!!
