Orchestral Manoeuvres - Glasgow Apollo 28 4 83
Review by Timothy Mahoney
The album Glasgow Apollo 28 4 83 by Orchestral Manoeuvres is a live recording of the band's performance in Glasgow in 1983. The album captures the energy and excitement of the band's live show, with a mix of fan favorites and lesser-known tracks.
The album opens with "Dazzle Ships (Parts II, III & VII)", a haunting instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band then launches into "Messages", one of their biggest hits, and the crowd can be heard singing along. Other highlights include "Maid of Orleans" and "Enola Gay", both of which showcase the band's signature synth-pop sound.
The album also includes some deeper cuts, such as "Stanlow" and "She's Leaving", which may not be as well-known but still showcase the band's songwriting and musicianship.

About Orchestral Manoeuvres
English electronic band formed in Wirral, Merseyside, in 1978 with Paul Humphreys (synthesizers) and Andy McCluskey (vocals and bass guitar). Earlier incarnations of their band included 'VCL XI' and 'Hitlerz Underpantz'.
They played their first gig in 1978 at Eric's (Liverpool), then had a run of UK chart hits after swapping labels from Factory to the Virgin owned label DinDisc starting with the 1980 release 'Messages'. In 1980, drummer Malcolm Holmes and Dave Hughes on synths transitioned from guest/live musicians to be full members of the band. Hughes left 1980 and was replaced by Martin Cooper.
Humphreys left the group in 1989, but McCluskey made a comeback in 1991 with the UK top 5 'Sailing On The Seven Seas', and followed that up with a UK top 3 Album 'Sugar Tax' before finally calling it a day in 1996.
In 2007 they toured together again featuring the classic line-up of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper and released a live-album in 2008: 'OMD Live: Architecture & Morality & More'. September 2010 saw the release of History Of Modern featuring the original classic line-up. This has been followed by English Electric (2013) & The Punishment of Luxury (2017) and OMD also performs live extensively.
