  • Genetic Engineering è un singolo del gruppo britannico Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, pubblicato nel 1983. È il primo singolo estratto dall'album Dazzle Ships, anticpandone l'uscita di qualche settimana. È il primo brano a riportare il nome del gruppo come autori, piuttosto che i nomi dei suoi fondatori McCluskey e/o Humphreys. È anche il primo disco del gruppo che esce sotto l'etichetta Virgin. Tutte pubblicazioni precedenti furono con l'etichetta DinDisc, compagnia sussidiaria della Virgin. Nonostante il grande successo dei singoli precedenti, Genetic Engineering raggiunse solo la posizione no. 20 nelle classifiche britanniche ed è considerato l'inizio di un periodo disastroso, che continuò con l'album Dazzle Ships ed il successivo singolo Telegraph. Il singolo non fu incluso nella prima compilation di singoli della band su LP "The Best of OMD" (1988), e solo come 'bonus' nell'edizione su compact disc. Viene escluso anche dalla seconda compilation "The OMD Singles" (1998) ma di nuovo incluso nella terza compilation "Messages" (2008). (it)
