Sticky Jazz Interview OMD

from Sticky Jazz Hosted by jeremy Hinks

We all know Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark, or OMD for the brevity, as one of those New Wave Synth bands that has been around for ever, and indeed they have. Topping 40 plus years of making deeply powerful synth pop, they have been at it again with this work that began during covid, and culminated in the masterpiece "Bauhaus Staircase". This is a great piece, that is full of all the philosophy and discussion about the human race, that only one could achieve through a concept of the practicality of the architecture of "Bauhaus" and it's art, and how the human race might just function around said artistic philosophy. I spoke to Andy McCluskey the singer for OMD about this album, how it came to be, what the inspiration was for it and how they see the concepts helping mankind. In short, it was a seriously geeky conversation, but not just for art and philosophy fans, it was also great for music fans in general. The album comes out on October 27th 2023, and it is worth the wait, I play a track from it on this episode. website [https://omd.uk.com/] youtube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGt81JgXy5FiQUml-nqePKw?feature=gws_kp_artist&feature=gws_kp_artist] spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/7wJ9NwdRWtN92NunmXuwBk?autoplay=true]#omd #bauhausstairase #joydivision #orchestralmaneuversinthedark #newwave #80ssynth #andymccluskey This program may contain copyrighted material which has not always been authorized by the copyright owners.
