The Vault: OMD Lets Its Dazzle Ships Sail Away
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s 1983 album Dazzle Ships clocks in at just over half an hour, and it’s a marvel, combining lush synths, short-wave radio samples. and technologically ambivalent lyrics to create a bleak portrait of the Atari 2600 age. The larger-than-life “Genetic Engineering” is the album’s high point, with its crashing cymbals, choirs of confusion about the future, and Speak-N-Spell samples; “Telegraph” is just as grand, but it has a slightly sweeter pop sensibility thanks to a lilting keyboard line.
