"The album that almost completely killed our career seems to have become a work of dysfunctional genius." #AndyMcCluskey
#OnThisDay 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ #OMD released their 4th studio album 'Dazzle Ships.' A "cult classic" and one of the great underrated albums of its era.

UK #SynthPop group #OMD’s 1988 single “Dreaming” was the last release to feature the band’s original line-up. It was a hit in the USA reaching #16 but peaked at #50 in the UK. Vocalist #AndyMcCluskey despised the song & still, it became a Starck fave

"We didn't think it got the respect it deserved. We put a lot into it and we really loved it... anything which undermines our own unstable balance creates a problem for us." #AndyMcCluskey

Richard Smith interviews #AndyMcCluskey, an artist who “pushed back against the guitar-noodling prog-rock of the day and set out to make his dream of #OrchestralManoeuvresintheDark a reality.”

Andy McCluskey of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark bought the studio in the mid-'90s.
He renamed it The Motor Museum, recorded OMD albums, and launched Atomic Kitten.
His gold discs still hang in the hallway.
Al Groves calls him a mentor and friend.

"We kind of consciously & unconsciously decided to dial down some of the experiments & dial up some of the melodies. We had to think, 'This is our job, this is how we pay the bills, so we better be more careful... Dazzle Ships nearly killed our career." #AndyMcCluskey

Also in the old photos box, Andy McCluskey, OMD, Kabuki Theatre, San Francisco, 1984. Yes, Kabuki was a live performance venue before it was a cinema. Definitely taken on the 110 camera. @omdhq #omd #andymccluskey
