Artist BiogUK synth-pop pioneers OMD released a new album in 2010 – “History of Modern” – which in spirit had more in common with the group’s early ’80s heyday, when "Enola Gay" and ‘Souvenir’, penned by two teenage Krautrock fans from the Wirral, lit up the charts and set the agenda for a bold new movement in British electronic music. In tandem with the Human League and Gary Numan, OMD’s tuneful blend of cutting-edge synthwork, cool minimalism and soulful pop – honed to perfection on the albums "Architecture & Morality", "Dazzle Ships" and ‘Organisation’– defined the decade, sold millions of records, and turned childhood pals Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys into stars.
