My first time hearing OMD, listening to the radio and out of the speakers comes Radio Waves. I should know the type of keyboard used, but, back then, that synth solo blew me away. I never heard anything like that and cranked up the volume. I immediately bought the album and backtracked their catalogue. That lead me to the first album, first song Bunker Soldiers. Along with Helen of Troy, Love and Violence and Promise, these are my Top 5 songs from OMD.
A fabulous and absorbing album. There is so much more to it than mere music. They created a real mood on that album that smells of the communist era and of how foreboding it all felt back then.
This was amazing. Thank you. OMD has played a huge role in my life.
Nice interview ❤️

'Dazzle' got some real scathing reviews at the time but is deservedly recognised as a cult classic today.
I always thought of it as their best work, from the moment I dropped the needle on the record way back when.
Would have loved a longer interview. Thanks for posting.
There best album
So Andy is a Fan of Kloppo (Jürgen Klopp) aswell :-)
Peter SAVILLE, not "Savel"...
Pretty sure Andy knows how to pronounce Peter’s name.
