New OMD material on the way?



The first classic synthpop groups that I got addicted to in the 80s were Thompson Twins, Alphaville, and OMD (in that order). My brother bought "The Best of OMD" on cassette tape and neither of us could stop listening to it. According to OMD's MySpace page, they are back together touring and working on a new album. They have a new song in their playlist called "She's Leaving" that's a collaboration with a modern synthpop group called Marsheaux. If you've ever been an OMD fan, you should check it out.

While on their site, I also saw their live performance of "Maid of Orleans" with a live orchestra. It brought back lots of memories and gave me chills. Check it out below. Can't wait for the new album.
