Subject: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in alarming "reforming" shocker

From: "David Davis" <feline1@...>
Date: 2005-12-30

Yes but "OMD" (as they tend to be known) announced
over Christmas on their website ( http://www.omd.uk.com )
that they're are going to reform in 2006...
now of course, OMD were one of the few bands of the post-punk
era to bother their assess using mellotrons at all, never mind have strings
of hit singles all across Europe about burning young girls at stakes with mellotrons in them
(in the singles, not in the bonfires...)

Apparently they're even planning to do live shows consisting of their entire
mellotron-packed "Architecture & Morality" album.

Sounds like a prime opportunity for Streetly Electronics to make sure
the band have fully operational road-worthy real mellotrons to re-create
that classic sound.........................
