Review

This collection of 16 OMD songs includes all their singles, including "If You Leave" (from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack) and "So in Love." OMD's sound is trademarked mostly by Paul Humphrey and Andy McCluskey's glassy-smooth vocals, along with harmonies that occasionally crack for dramatic emphasis but never shatter. The music is classic early '80s synth-pop, with swelling, hopeful strings and low-key tempos sugar-crusted to keep the songs rich but not totally fluffy. --Beth Bessmer UK reissue of 1988 compilation originally released on A&M, now long out-of-print. 18 tracks including 'Telegraph' & 'Genetic Engineering' as a bonus. Plus 12 inch versions of 'We Love You' & 'La Femme Accident'.An Excellent Single Disc Compendium of One of the Original Electro Groups of the Postpunk Era. Their First Album on Dindisc Records Made a Big Splash in the UK and on College Radio in the USA VIRGIN/EPIC Tried to Release a Hybrid Record of their First Two Albums that Met with Moderate Success. But it Wasn't Until the Placement of "if You Leave" in the Motion Picture "Pretty in Pink" and the Decsion to Market Thru A&m Records that the Band Finally Cracked the USA Charts.
