Klappentext

Der Volksmund sagt: »In Hessen liegt der Hund begraben.« Herrschen in dieser ländlichen Gegend also Langeweile und tägliche Monotonie?

Diese humorvolle Erzählung wird Sie vom Gegenteil überzeugen! Sie werden über die spannenden, skurrilen und manchmal tragischen Ereignisse, die sich dort zugetragen haben, verblüfft sein.

Begleiten Sie Jasper, einen 10-jährigen Jungen, der 1973 in einfachen, seltsam verdrehten Verhältnissen aufwuchs und die Welt aus seiner ganz eigenen Perspektive sah.

OMD • Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. With Links to Amazon 🇺🇸

Music recommendation by Nokbew

OMD

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are an English electronic band formed in Wirral, Merseyside, in 1978. The group consists of founding duo and principal songwriters Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), along with Martin Cooper (keyboards, saxophone) and Stuart Kershaw (drums). Regarded as pioneers of electronic music, OMD combined an experimental, miMcCluskey and Humphreys led precursor group the Id from 1977 to 1978, and re-recorded their track „Electricity“ as OMD’s debut single in 1979. Weathering an „uncool“ image and a degree of hostility from music critics, the band achieved popularity throughout Europe with the 1980 anti-war song „Enola Gay“, and gained further recognition via Architecture & Morality (1981) and its three hit singles. McCluskey and Humphreys attracted the moniker, „the Lennon–McCartney of synth-pop“. Although later reappraised, Dazzle Ships (1983) was seen as overly experimental, and eroded European support. The group embraced a more radio-friendly sound on Junk Culture (1984); this change in direction led to greater success in the US, and spawned hits including „If You Leave“ (from the 1986 film Pretty in Pink).

In 1989, creative differences saw Humphreys and other members form the spin-off band the Listening Pool, leaving McCluskey the only remaining member of OMD. The group returned with a new line-up and explored the dance-pop genre: Sugar Tax (1991) and its initial singles were hits in Europe. OMD then began to flounder amid the guitar-oriented grunge and Britpop movements, eventually disbanding in 1996. McCluskey later conceived girl group Atomic Kitten, for whom he served as a principal songwriter and producer, while Humphreys formed the duo Onetwo alongside lead vocalist Claudia Brücken of Propaganda.

In 2006, OMD reformed with McCluskey and Humphreys revisiting the more experimental territory of their early work. Although sometimes identified as a cult band, the group have achieved 14 top-20 entries on the UK Albums Chart, as well as global sales of 40 million records. Their 20th century output yielded 18 top-40 appearances on the UK Singles Chart, along with four top-40 entries on the US Billboard Hot 100. Described as one of the most influential synth-pop acts in history, OMD have inspired many artists across diverse genres and disciplines.nimalist ethos with pop sensibilities, becoming key figures in the emergence of synth-pop; McCluskey and Humphreys also established the „synth duo“ trend in Britain during the 1980s. In the United States, the band were an early presence in the MTV-driven Second British Invasion.

Vinyl LP pressing. Architecture & Morality is the third studio album by British electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It was released on 8 November 1981 by Dindisc.

The album also became a commercial success, selling over four million copies by 2007. Architecture & Morality yielded three singles, all of which reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart: „Souvenir“ (#3), „Joan of Arc“ (#5), and „Maid of Orleans (The Waltz Joan of Arc)“ (#4), a retitled „Joan of Arc (Maid of Orleans)“.
