ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK - Dazzle Ships LP swamp and surprisingly original and entertainingIncludes d l code. Original die cut sleeve. Half speed mastering at Abbey Rd. 1983s Dazzle Ships is a particular winner, as it veered dramatically away from chart popping synth pop and into some real tasty experimental territory: musique concrete and shortwave radio samples and the like. Unpopular at the time, but recognised as an underrated gem since then. The first four albums by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (aka OMD) re issued on 180g vinyl.
