blind-fitter Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I never really liked OMD much, although the LP featuring "Enola Gay" was one of the first albums I ever possessed- an unexpected Christmas present: don't you wish people would ask you what you would actually like? The album had its moments, but never really grabbed me. I don't think electro-pop was ever destined to be "my thing". Anyway, I digress. OMD went on to do lots of stuff that I really didn't care for much, but, whatever: I was thinking the other day what a classic, classy single "Enola Gay" is. The signature keyboard riffs, the melody, a certain cheesy gravitas; I might not like their other stuff much, but this was one of those rare "great pop-tunes", that just stands out from the dross.

(1991) mp3 one of their most underrated songs, and over time one of my absolute favourites of theirs (not just from "Out of Time") Dusk is Dawn is Day where did it go? I've been laughing fast and slow moving in a still frame Howling at the Moon Morning found me laughing up and down, down Low, Low, Low Night suits me fine and Morning suits me fine I've been so happy, happy way up high, high in between down below Low, Low, Low Low, Low, Low I skipped the part about...
