About: The Best of OMD

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Best of OMD is a compilation album by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in 1988; marking a decade since the band's beginnings. The record essentially delineates the group's experimental early years from their pop-oriented later work: side one features recordings from 1979 to 1984, while side two is drawn from the group's 1984–1988 efforts. It was a worldwide success, becoming a Top 5 hit across Europe and achieving 3× platinum sales in the United Kingdom and gold status in the United States. "Dreaming" was released as a single and made little impact on the UK charts, reaching No. 50, but it was a hit in the US (No. 16), Germany (No. 26) and South Africa (No. 2).

dbo:abstract
  • The Best of OMD és el vuitè disc (la seva primera recopilació) del grup anglès de pop electrònic Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Aparegué el mes de març de 1988. The Best of OMD inclou seleccions de tots els discos editats pel grup fins llavors, a més d'un tema inèdit, "Dreaming". La versió d'"Electricity" que s'hi inclou és una remescla de la versió que apareix al seu disc de debut. "Messages" apareix en la seva versió expandida i co-produïda per Mike Howlett; les versions incloses de "Tesla girls" i "Talking loud and clear" estan lleugerament editades respecte de les originals aparegudes al disc Junk Culture. A la versió en format CD s'hi inclouen quatre temes extra: "Genetic engineering", una versió expandida (i inèdita) de "Telegraph", i les versions maxi de "La femme accident" i de "We love you". Aquesta cançó ja havia aparegut a l'edició australiana de la recopilació, car hi havia tingut molt d'èxit. Coincidint amb aquesta recopilació, Virgin Records edità també una biografia oficial dels OMD, anomenada "Messages", i una col·lecció de vídeos. Un any després d'haver-se publicat The Best of OMD, el grup es va escindir: McCluskey continuà enregistrant i publicant nous discos conservant el nom d'OMD; Humphreys, Cooper i Holmes formaren un nou grup, anomenat "The Listening Pool".
