This is my favorite song off Organisation. Just so haunting and beautiful.

yup.. the OMD is great.. and this song goes forever in everyone's mind if they have a soul of the 80's ;)

As a keyboard/synth player that started playing in the early 80's mod where getting the most out of some old and antiquated gear. Top marks for the use of the organ possibly one of the early Korg organs. It also shows it's the musical content that really matters. Amazing sound and song.

I saw OMD in 1985 in Los Angeles, and am going to see them March 2,6 2011 in Oakland. Still my all time favorite band.

thanks for answer.. yes i agree in that comment, the 80's was a special thing on it's sounds, however, the sounds have been out 'again' to learn about them..the 80's.. now it's 2010, maybe some will figure like the songs from that arcade.. :)

@dentom44 Sure man, I am agree with ur opinion...People enjoys always pop music, chosen from CEOs in charge under dark offices, who pretend us to listen what they want..I mean products like Madonna, Jacko, Wham, etc...I prefer electronic sounds like this...

@obakegadeso Of course oba, Ian Curtis left this world perhaps 4 things we never understand and share...This song makes me go to other atmospheres....woooo!!!

First time I listen 2 this song.. And yes, I love OMD, but I missed them in time... Marvelous song and a great upload...great!!

I remember listening to this in 1981 over and over and over. Their music took over my whole life, but I have to be honest it did feed a mood of depression. We can all look back and say how wonderful they were blah blah blah. But at the time life didnt seem like it. I had no idea it was about Ian Curtis, but it sure fits. I dont think anyone'd get away with making depressing music like this these days.

This is about Mr Curtis, Joy Division.
