Manoeuvres amidst the Cacophony

It is astounding. It is reported in a Guardian article that Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark, the quintessential experimental pop-art band* of the early eighties, have embarked on a tour that sees them, meaning the whole original line-up, play their experimental 1981 album, 'Architecture and Morality', live. Simply astounding. In my opinion, that was one of the defining of that era.

1. The New Stone Age

2. She's Leaving

3. Souvenir

4. Sealand

5. Joan Of Arc

6. Joan Of Arc (Maid Of Orleans)

7. Architecture & Morality

8. Georgia

9. The Beginning & The End

I would really love to see them 'live'.

*They did become somewhat more commercial later with a single 'If you leave' that appeared in a John Hughes teenbopper flick.
