Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Architecture & Morality
back in stock 'architecture and morality' is arguably their best and most influential work andy mccluskey and paul humphreys integrate their electronics gracefully into the format of the pop song and malcolm cooper's live drums do much to keep the album from sounding too machinemade the album's centerpiece is the twopart 'joan of arc' 'maid of orleans' suite omd's most memorable as well as prettiest achievement at that point the single 'souvenir' is nearly the equal of those two songs and the eightminute atmospheric exploration 'sealand' shows the duo's experimental bent remains strong
