MOG Editorial Review

The OMD Singles collects two decades’ worth of electro-pop from England’s Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and the compilation manages to highlight their influence on contemporaries like Depeche Mode and newcomers like Cut Copy. They were the first synth-pop duo, melding the experimental sounds of Kraftwerk into melodic, radio-friendly hits (“Souvenir,” “Enola Gay”). Chronologically presented, the 70-minute compilation represents the best work Paul Humphreys and Andy McCluskey put to record and the impact they had within new wave, either at the onset or in later synth-obsessed decades.
AMG Review of OMD Singles

All Music Guide

Looking back on 20 years of creative growth since the electro-pop band's inception, The OMD Singles is logically and chronologically arranged. The earliest recordings, 1980's "Electricity" and "Messages," prove electric messages were being channeled from such German pioneers as Kraftwerk and Neu! These English boys were enamored of melody, though, and it was not long before such dulcet, song-like structure became self-evident, as in 1984's "Tesla Girls." From then on, it is a steady climb in coherence, with synth rhythms downplayed in order to bring the melodic theme to the front. The pinnacle of this progression is OMD's memorable "So in Love" (1985) and "If You Leave" (from 1986's #Pretty in Pink). The album closes with their last hit, 1996's glam-influenced autobiography "Walking on the Milky Way." The last original member, Andy McCluskey, has blessed this greatest-hits package as the final swan song for the long-lived group. Originating in post-punk synth experimentation and closing in dated, but still strong, pop productions, The OMD Singles is an excellent time line of the band whose sound covered in a single career that same territory explored by the Human League, Erasure, Yaz, New Order, and beyond.
