When I read that I thought you meant OMC.

Im hooked on James Blunt's new album. It takes a few listens at first as its so different from his last couple of albums. It is awesome and recommended!!

I defy anyone to say the words "How bizarre" in a conversation and not have someone else start singing that song!!!

I think OMD's best work was on their first three albums (plus The Romance of the Telescope), with Organisation as a standout. It's incredible to think that they were getting those kinds of soundscapes from monophonic synthesizers in 1980.

Kolm - Everyone in a certain age bracket gets that song in their head anyway... as Vanderbelt says, you just need to hear two words and off it goes. I'd apologise otherwise. ;)



I've been listening to some of my old music today. I've got extremely varied tastes in music but today has seen me revisit some of my HipHop collection.
Cypress Hill, Ugly Duckling, Nice & Smooth, GangStarr, Beatnuts, Jurassic5, Dilated Peoples, De La Soul and so on.

Not listened to things like that in a long, long time. Recently it's been more Jazz, Swing, Classical, Rock and Traditional Irish. (Yeah - varied tastes.)
