@tomewing.bsky.social and @durutti74.bsky.social just inspired me to listen to #DazzleShips for the first time in years (decades?).
What an album.
What. An. Album.
International, The Romance of the Telescope, Silent Running, Of All the Things We Made. The songs that soothed my teenage soul.

through america to albania
over reagan’s head, under moscow's bed.
to the warsaw pact and the NATO pact
down this cul de sac, never turning back #dazzleships

#MusicHistory On this day 1983, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark released their experimental beauty of a 4th album, #DazzleShips. A flop when it was released, this record was ahead of its time and is now recognized underrated, influential and misunderstood work. #OMD
