Podcasts about orchestral manoeuvres

L'autre jour, je fouillais dans les 45 tours que j'ai achetés dans les années 80 et dont une bonne partie tourne sur Nostalgie depuis 25 ans et je me disais qu'on sait finalement peu de choses, sinon rien, sur la majorité des artistes dont les chansons, du moins certains, sont devenues des classiques. Regardez Elegance, le groupe dont le tube ressort inévitablement chaque été avec le même bonheur. Parce que c'est clair qu'on s'y voit ou qu'on s'y revoit sur le chemin des vacances dès le premier couplet. C'est d'ailleurs une des forces imparables de ce titre qui fait partie de la légende des années 80. Mais finalement qui est-ce ? Vous pourriez ne fut-ce que dire combien ils étaient ces gars-là ? Je vous raconte.En 1981, grâce à Chagrin d'amour, la preuve est faite qu'on peut faire du funk et même du rap en français avec bonheur. Est-ce cela qui motive trois jeunes gens qui oeuvrent dans la musique à se mettre ensemble pour tenter de faire le même coup ? Allez savoir. Toujours est-il que Marc Ricci, Pierre Zito et Patrick Bourges décident de former Elegance pour nous emmener dans un univers nettement moins borderline. Ils ont respectivement 22, 26 et 18 ans et chacun apporte son expérience. Marc est DJ au Palace à Paris et au Papagayo à St Tropez, c'est la grande époque des platines, du funk et du hip hop mais aussi les remarquables débuts des rythmes automatiques de la new wave. Marc a tout entendu de Prince, Earth Wind & Fire et Orchestral Manoeuvres, alors pourquoi ne pas marier les deux en faisant un truc très groovy avec des synthés ? Pierre est musicien, claviériste, c'est sur lui que va reposer la composition des mélodies. Patrick, lui, est chanteur, il va assurer les refrains car les couplets vont être slammés par le DJ, Marc, qui connaît la musique, c'est le cas de le dire. Inutile de vous dire que le mariage de ces trois talents fait de cette chanson sans prétention, hein, un truc définitif, tellement qu'aucun d'eux n'imagine alors qu'elle fera encore du bien à tout le monde, plus de 40 ans après.Et en parlant d'après, je sais ce que vous pensez, ils n'ont plus rien fait. Ben si, justement, pas mal de 45 Tours avec Élégance, déjà. Au moins un par an. Mais aucun ne rentre dans le Top 50. Est-ce le manque d'envie, d'inspiration, du vite fait, de la paresse, on n'en sait rien mais force est de constater si tous sont bien réalisés et balancés, ça ne fonctionne pas, du moins pas de la même façon que ces vacances qui leur ont valu de vendre un million de singles en 1982. Oui, je sais, j'en entends certains qui disent : il va oublier de dire que la chanson a été arrangée par François Feldman qui était alors inconnu. C'est vrai mais il a aussi travaillé sur d'autres titres d'Élégance, donc. Marc est retourné à ses platines, et avec quel succès car quand l'ère des DJ est venue, ben, il a cartonné avec les fameux Hotel Costes et les compiles du même nom, et puis des chansons pour beaucoup d'interprètes de Marc Lavoine à Yannick Noah en passant par Alain Chamfort et Chimène Badi. Quant à Patrick, il a aussi écrit, avec Pierre, pour d'autres, comme le fameux Un enfant de toi de Phil Barney. Élégance s'est séparé en 1986 mais on ne les a pas oubliés, en tout cas pas le nom de leur groupe.

Dans la bande-dessinée Tsar Bomba de Fabien Grolleau et Cyril Elophe, Andreï Sakharov, un brillant physicien soviétique, participe à la création de la bombe H. Alors bouleversé par les conséquences humaines de ses travaux, il devient peu à peu un opposant au régime. Un récit historique et éclairant. 30 octobre 1961, dans le nord de l'URSS, une région désertique, l'explosion de la Tsar Bomba, une bombe à hydrogène d'une puissance inédite qui a provoqué une onde de choc si forte que les Américains ont cru leurs instruments de mesure déréglés. On est en pleine guerre froide, l'URSS de Khrouchtchev veut montrer ses muscles aux États-Unis de Kennedy et vice versa. Et des deux côtés des scientifiques travaillent d'arrache-pied, Andreï Sakharov était l'un d'eux physicien russe passionné par sa matière qui deviendra un dissident et le paiera de plusieurs années de déportation. Prix Nobel de la Paix en 1975, il est au cœur d'un très bel album intitulé Tsar Bomba les paradoxes d'Andrei Sakharov.Fabien Grolleau, le scénariste, et Cyril Elophe, le dessinateur, sont les invités de Sur le pont des Arts.

Les années 1980 sont devenues magiques pour beaucoup de gens qui donneraient cher aujourd'hui pour y revenir. Et en y repensant, je dois vous avouer me souvenir qu'on avait l'impression de vivre un grand moment. Tout nous semblait nouveau et moderne en 1980 : on jouait aux Space Invaders, on écoutait des radios libres pour la première fois et on utilisait un enregistreur VHS. Et si, question musique, en 1980, il y avait encore des Chantal Goya pour chanter Bécassine et Julio Iglesias Je n'ai pas changé, le reste, mis bout à bout, était sacrément moderne : The Buggles, Orchestral Manoeuvres, Funkytown, le Manureva d'Alain Chamfort, le Banana Split de Lio ou John and Mary de Robert Palmer, c'est quand même une musique futuriste avec tous ces synthés.Et puis il y a le ska. Je revois encore toute la piste de danse sautant d'un bloc sur One step beyond quinze fois sur la soirée d'un samedi. C'était quelque chose de radicalement nouveau qui correspondait tellement à la jeunesse du début des années 80. Si le genre n'a pas fait long feu, en Angleterre, il a été un véritable phénomène social avec des groupes comme Madness, bien sûr, mais surtout les Specials, Selecter, Bad Manners et The Beat. Complètement méconnu chez nous, The Beat enchaîne trois albums, tous disques d'or, avant de se séparer. Alors qu'est-ce qu'on fait ? se demandent Andy Cox et David Steele, respectivement bassiste et guitariste de The Beat, les auteurs de cette intro que tous les Britanniques connaissent … Moi je vous dis : une paire pareille de musiciens ne devrait pas se séparer, et justement, ils décident de continuer ensemble. Mais que jouer comme musique ? Ils sont plutôt punk, ont connu le succès avec le ska, deux musiques bien passées de mode en 1984, alors ils suivent un peu le mouvement du milieu de cette décennie, avec les Wham!, Madness ou Culture Club qui ont injecté de la soul américaine dans leur musique. Andy et David jouent chacun de plusieurs instruments, ils sont un band à eux seuls mais voilà, il leur faut un chanteur, un frontman. Alors ils passent une annonce dans un magazine musical. Pour vous dire à quel point la scène musicale était intense et lisait les magazines, ils reçoivent 500 cassettes de gars qui veulent être leur chanteur. Quand va-t-on écouter tout ça ?Ben on s'arrête au premier qui nous plaît.Et si le suivant est dix fois meilleur ?Ils vont mettre huit mois à trouver le temps de tout écouter et à choisir le bon. Il se nomme Roland Gift, et a aussi fait du ska, mais comme saxophoniste, dans un groupe de Hull sur la côte est du nord de l'Angleterre, bien connue de ceux qui prennent le ferry pour la Hollande. Ainsi naissent les Fine Young Cannibals, un groupe qui incarne tellement la seconde partie des années 80, une carrière fulgurante, seulement deux albums mais quels albums, synthèse de la pop d'une époque où on vivait pour la musique.

In this in-depth interview, we're thrilled to welcome Andy McCluskey, the driving force behind Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), to discuss the band's incredible journey and his thoughts on the future. Andy takes us on a trip down memory lane, sharing the stories behind their most iconic hits, including the inspirations, challenges, and triumphs that shaped their legacy in the world of synth-pop. He also opens up about the songs that didn't make the cut—hidden gems that fans may never hear—and reveals why some tracks are left behind. Is OMD's most recent album destined to be their last? Andy reflects on the possibility of closing this chapter of their recording career, while celebrating the band's enduring influence and creative energy. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Andy gives an exclusive sneak peek into an exciting new project involving NASA. Learn how science and music are coming together in a way that's as ambitious as it is inspiring, showcasing OMD's knack for blending art with innovation. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to their sound, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a music pioneer who continues to push boundaries and dream big. Don't miss this captivating conversation!

A ceux qui disaient en 1969 en regardant les hommes marcher sur la Lune que nous avions changé d'époque, on peut leur dire douze ans plus tard, on en a vu depuis passer plein d'autres, tellement qu'on en finit par avoir le tournis. Ben oui, 1981, dans la Belgique de Wilfried Maertens, on a une dizaine de chaînes de télé dont certaines émettent dès le matin, on a des cassettes VHS pour les enregistrer, un répondeur sur notre téléphone, et en parlant de téléphone, il ne faut plus de pièces dans les cabines, non, on téléphone avec une carte ! Tu peux même retirer de l'argent de ton compte à un distributeur maintenant, en rue, à toute heure. Tu te rends compte ! Et surtout on joue de la musique, tout seul, sur un synthétiseur. Il fait tout, mon vieux : le piano, la basse et même la batterie et ne prend pas plus de place qu'un piano électrique. C'est ça la révolution des années 80 : tout est à peine inventé que déjà portable. Regardez le terrible radio cassette avec ses gros baffles, une grande poignée au-dessus et hop, tu l'emportes en vacances ou dans ton kot et t'as un super son ! Et en parlant de radio, en Belgique, on a un truc que les Français n'ont pas, une radio qui ne passe que de la musique pour les jeunes … Déjà qu'ils n'ont pas de salle comme Forest National, même à Paris, alors Radio Cité, on est branché dessus tout le week-end pour écouter ce qui sort en Grande-Bretagne et aux Etats-Unis. Car c'est bien de ça qu'il s'agit. Choper les nouvelles musiques, de nouveaux artistes comme les Pretenders, Orchestral Manoeuvres, les Buggles et bien sûr, Soft Cell. C'est un groupe sans guitares ni batterie, comme Kraftwerk. Sauf qu'ils ne sont pas quatre mais deux. Et encore, un musicien et un chanteur. Ah ben oui, tout est tellement portable aujourd'hui que tu peux monter ton groupe sans avoir besoin de louer une salle de répète. Tu peux faire ça dans ton kot et c'est ce qu'on fait les deux gars de Soft Cell, Dave Ball et Marc Almond, étudiants à l'école d'art de Leeds dans le nord de l'Angleterre. Oh ils ne sont pas les seuls, il y a un tas de gars qui font ça dans toutes les villes du pays et même à Paris et Bruxelles. Mais ils sont les premiers à faire un tube mondial avec leur musique obscure, bien barrée, le couteau sur la gorge, menacé par leur label de les laisser tomber s'ils ne sortent pas un disque qui marche.Oui, c'est un tube sur commande, comme à l'époque pas si lointaine du disco. Sauf qu'ils ne faut pas embaucher une dizaine de musiciens dans un studio qui coûte un pont au producteur. Une véritable révolution que cette reprise d'un titre anglais des sixties qui n'avait marché qu'à moitié et qui sonnait comme une chanson noire américaine de la Motown. Je vous dis qu'en 1981, on a changé d'époque. Mais joyeusement, même si la voix de Marc Almond cache quelque chose de plus sombre et profond.

We continue our wander through the 4CD Intrigue compilation. This installment features 15 UK bands, several which we'd never heard of before (Art Nouveau, New Musik, Section 25). We hope this episode helps prove curator Steven Wilson's note that Intrigue operates on the “idea that conceptual thinking and ambition didn't suddenly evaporate after '77…ambitious, weird and thrilling music was all around you in the ‘80s – if you looked in the right places.” Amen.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.

This week on The Metro, Rev Jeff Ivins brings you the following bands for your weekly time warp to the 1980s: The Fixx, Billy Idol, Patti Smith, Missing Persons, Joe Jackson, INXS, T’pau, Alarm, Parachute Club, The Police, Pat Benatar, Adam And The Ants, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and finishing up with Wall Of Voodoo.

For this very special episode, Tim Burgess is was joined for a live Listening Party by Andy McCluskey, the lead singer and bassist of one of the most influential synth-pop acts in history, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.Pioneers of electronic music, OMD were one of the earliest synthesizer-led bands to emerge from the post-punk scene, influencing many artists since, and making their presence felt in the Second British Invasion in the US with the advent of MTV. Simply put, OMD are partly responsible for the sound that defined the 80s, and the album they are discussing, Architecture & Morality, remains one of the enduring records of that era.Architecture & Mortality was released on 6th November 1981 on Dindisc.

Andy McCluskey is the bassist and lead vocalist in British electronic pop pioneers OMD, and the only constant member since their formation in their native Wiral, Merseyside, in 1978. Having sold to date over 40 million records globally, the group recently released their fourteenth studio album, Bauhaus Staircase. They tour in the UK in 2024.

New music from Ambos, The Feelies, as well as our conversation with Andy McCluskey of OMD

For many Americans, OMD's repertoire begins and ends with "If You Leave." But the band's impact on the Eastern Hemisphere began years before the release of the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, with a string of catchy, unique, unlikely hits topping the charts in many European countries during the first half of the decade. T&J are joined by Patrick, co-host of the podcast Known Pleasures, to discuss OMD's rich legacy as new wave synth-pop pioneers.

Noel catches up with Andy McCluskey of OMD. The electronic band just released their latest studio album, Bauhaus Staircase, to rave reviews. It debuted at number two on the UK charts. The pioneers of electronic music are showing no signs of slowing down. Andy talks about his relationship with their signature song in the States, "If You Leave," and the moment he knew it was a hit song. The frontman discusses the misconceptions of "Enola Gay" and whether the band enjoyed making videos.

This week on The Metro, Rev. Jeff Ivins brings you the following bands for your weekly time trip to the 1980s: Billy Idol, Squeeze, Simple Minds, U2, The Motels, Sandra, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Echo And The Bunnymen, Romantics, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Inmates, and finishing up with some Golden Earring.

Season 4, Episode 73Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are at it again with a brand new album, Bauhaus Staircase.  Making this episode even better, Steve had a chance to sit down with OMD lead singer Andy McCluskey.  They discuss the bands origins, longevity in the music business, the new album and much more!

In this episode, I speak with Andy McCluskey, lead vocalist of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, or OMD, as they are more commonly known. Andy formed OMD with co-writer and occasional co-vocalist, Paul Humphreys, at the tail-end of the 1970s. Their self-titled debut album (and its follow-up) was released in 1980 at the dawn of electronic pop, just as synthesised sounds were easing their way into the mainstream - and this is where our story begins. We begin by looking back at Andy's interests in art and design that saw him creating the first posters for OMD (see below), his ongoing creative relationship with legendary sleeve designer, Peter Saville, and follow the story right up to today with the brand new album, Bauhaus Staircase, released the same day as this podcast - Friday 27 October 2023. The new album references the Bauhaus art movement in its title, and its sleeve design is naturally complementary, but it is not the first OMD album with connections to art and design. So, join Andy and myself as we connect the dots, and along the way reveal that during this journey of more than four decades, OMD may actually have sailed those seven seas and finally come full circle... If you liked this episode, you may also enjoy the conversation I had with John Petch about his design work for OMD's 13th album 'The Punishment of Luxury'. Check out episode 6 of Art on your sleeve.

OMG we're going to see OMD and we'er a Dilly Dias and a Dilly Dori   Dori and Paulo both have an outrageous tale to tell -  one that involves John Stamos and a sex duvet the other, a killer kiss that led to someone Kevin Baconing, Jason Bateman.   We find more reasons to hate 80s studio execs before wondering how the world went so wrong seeing that we were raised by Michael Knight.   Everything we talk about on this show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Andy McClusky of OMD speaks to Sean about the band's new album 'Bauhaus Staircase'. Xnthony takes his epic musical 'Oliver Cromwell is Really Very Sorry' on the road in October and November and speaks to Sean ahead of the tour. The Macnas parade's new designer, Paul McDonnell, and director, James Riordan, join Sean.

In the 70s, the teenage years of Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, one would have heard new music by word of mouth, from the music papers, and DJs like John Peel, and it is one of these channels that would have led the young Andy McCluskey in September 1975 to see Kraftwerk play at the Liverpool Empire. It's lazy to suggest that Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark were entirely influenced by Kraftwerk – both founder members were keen music lovers and had performed together in a band called The Id – but their debut single Electricity wears that influence  on its sleeve.There were some classic synthpop albums released in in 1980 and 1981 but in terms of maturity and sophistication, none came close to ‘Architecture and Morality', OMD's third album. McCluskey & Humphreys always did things there own way: "We kind of did songwriting in reverse. A lot of songwriters sit at the piano and hash out a melody and the chords first. With us, we start with a soundscape and crazy noises and quite often the song will land on top. We then realised we had a knack for a catchy tune".   OMD arguably took a wrong turn with their fourth album 'Dazzle Ships', released in 1983."We forgot to sugar coat the experiment. The album shipped Gold and returned Platinum, more copies were sent back than sold. It did scare us that it wasn't commercially successful. Even though our songs always start as experiments, we were conscious to keep it more commercial in order to rescue our career".  But even that record became a classic, eventually. Some 33 years on, in 2016, OMD played a triumphant show at London's Royal Albert Hall performing both Architecture and Morality and then Dazzle Ships back-to-back. That experience gave the band a new lease of life. 2017's ‘The Punishment Of Luxury' can arguably be confidently placed in the top three albums OMD had released to date. Almost forty years after they first got together, a band that was still adding to its finest work. The band's forthcoming album, ‘Bauhaus Staircase' bodes well for their late blooming fifth decade and extended longevity. This, despite McCluskey's wisdom suggesting otherwise.  "It's usually dangerous and stupid to make a new album unless you are really going to invest in it. People tell us we're iconic and influential, so we don't want to fuck it up by making a shit album".The band can rest easy. After 45 years working in their own unique way, they and their fans find OMD on a roll. Support the showGet more related content at: https://www.songsommelier.com/

When it comes to Vince Clarke, we just can't get enough (was that too obvious?).  So "don't go" anywhere (how 'bout that one?)! Born Vincent John Martin on July 3, 1960 in South Woodford, Essex, England, Vince Clarke is a classically trained musician who got the bug to make electronic music after hearing Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in the late ‘70s, which led to the formation of a band with school chum Andy Fletcher called No Romance In China.  Shortly after, the duo added Martin Gore to the mix and called themselves Composition of Sound.  With the addition of lead vocalist Dave Gahan, Composition of Sound morphed into Depeche Mode.  Following the first Depeche Mode album Speak & Spell, Clarke teamed up with Alison Moyet for Yazoo, releasing two huge albums and a string of singles that hovered near the top of the charts. After Yaz, Clarke took up various production duties and projects, most notably The Assembly, before landing upon his most formidable partnership with Andy Bell in Erasure - an alliance that has resulted in 19 studio albums to date, including 5 that have hit #1 in the UK, and some of the most beloved singles of the past nearly 40 years.  That's only scratching the surface, of course, but let's just put it this way…he is an electronic music pioneer, a synth-pop legend, someone who helped to expand the definition of what a rock star looks like and sounds like.  Because some might say that we have trouble at times sticking to the topic at hand, we also cover the newly minted adult in Uncle Gregg's house (hint: it's not him), intimacy issues, a genius (question mark?) way to save the planet, jorts, hot knees, and cuddles.  Lots o' cuddles.  And what does Hollywood legend Jamie Kennedy have to do with Vince Clarke?  We're not sure either. One thing's for certain...we will NOT be calling ourselves Only Three Lads US! Awww yeah! Our O3L Spotlight Artist of the Week is UK garage rock trio The Len Price 3, whose 2007 debut album is being reissued on April 7th by Little Steven's Wicked Cool Records.  The record will be available on vinyl for the first time, and also contains four unreleased bonus tracks on CD and digital.  We are thrilled to play one of those unreleased tracks, the incendiary "Break Your Neck" on this week's episode.
