Massively successful in the ’80s, [lastfm link_type=”artist_info”]Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark[/lastfm] epitomized that decade with sunny melodies, ambitious synth pop arrangements, and theatrical showmanship. Back together again for the first time since 1996, the iconic group turns pulsing, and infectious synth forms into pretty pop on their brand-new album The History Of Modern.
Listen to some of our favorite tracks like downtempo gems “Bondage Of Fate” and “Sometimes,” plus a free download of a remix of “If You Want It.”
Staying true to the original recording of “If You Want It,” the remix by Marsheaux inspires some serious dance moves–it doesn’t involve too much hip-shaking, just enough to get you to sway back and forth.
Watch the video for “If You Want It” below:
