Chris Andrews SONG OF THE WEEK: “Lost”—Synthpop percolations about being lost then found. On a cosmic jukebox this would play somewhere between Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, and OMD. If this is your introduction to Chris Andrews, he’s a British singer-songwriter and recording artist whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees). Under the name Tim Andrews he was a champion of late 60s psychedelic pop and (later), as Kris Ryder, he released New Wave synthpop sides in the 80s. Chris was also part of the seminal freakbeat band Fleur de Lys. Check out Chris’s current sounds…

Today, we're celebrating the incredible talent and musical genius of Andy McCluskey, the founding member and frontman of OMD. 🎵

OMD, which stands for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, was formed in the late '70s when Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys decided to pursue their passion for music. Their name was inspired by a mishearing of the name Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park, a title they spotted on a poster for the 1969 German avant-garde music festival. Little did they know that this fortuitous mistake would lead to the birth of an iconic band.

Throughout their career, OMD pushed the boundaries of music, blending synthesizers, catchy melodies, and poignant lyrics. Their music captivated listeners with its unique blend of electronic soundscapes and emotional depth. Songs like "Enola Gay," "Joan of Arc," and "Souvenir" became anthems of the '80s, solidifying OMD's place in music history.

As we celebrate Andy McCluskey's birthday, here's a fun fact about him: he's not only a phenomenal singer but also an incredible bassist and songwriter. His distinctive basslines have become synonymous with OMD's sound, adding a driving force to their music.

Let's take a moment to reminisce about OMD's first single, "Electricity." Released in 1979, this electrifying track symbolized the birth of a new era in music. With its pulsating beats and thought-provoking lyrics, "Electricity" showcased OMD's vision and set the stage for their groundbreaking debut album, "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark."

"Electricity" explored themes of power, energy, and the electrifying force of music itself. It served as a metaphor for the band's desire to shake up the music scene and bring a fresh wave of innovation. Little did they know that this single would be the spark that ignited a successful and influential career spanning decades.

Join us in celebrating Andy McCluskey's birthday and the incredible legacy of OMD! 🎉🎵 Let's keep their music alive and continue to appreciate the lasting impact they've had on the world of music. #AndyMcCluskey #OMD #OrchestralManoeuvresInTheDark #HappyBirthdayAndy #MusicLegend
