(Bright Antenna/LG) Go - Get It Now!
After a 14 year hiatus OMD is back with its original line-up. Fueled by Andy McClusky’s and Paul Humphrey’s newfound enthusiasm History of Modern celebrates OMD’s legacy while paving the way for a bright future. The album celebrates the group’s synth-pop sound and bridges it with modern techno. McCluskey’s voice is still spot on and passionate after all these years and it pairs nicely with the vibrant soundscapes and electrifying choruses found on this release.
A good record is one you can sing along with and dance to. With that said, by the second spin I wanted to sing and by the third go round I was ready. With the exception of a few melancholy ballads each track is danceable. As for the ballads, you’ll just have to be a bit more graceful out on the dancefloor.
