Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – The Pacific Age – Vinyl Record
The Pacific Age is the seventh studio album by the British electronic music band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). It was released in 1986 on Virgin Records. The album marked a slight departure from OMD’s earlier synth-pop sound and embraced a more polished and pop-oriented style.
The Pacific Age features a mix of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, combining synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, and orchestral arrangements. The album incorporates catchy melodies, lush harmonies, and introspective lyrics, exploring themes of technology, society, and personal relationships.
The album includes notable tracks such as the singles “Forever Live and Die” and “We Love You,” both of which achieved moderate chart success. Other standout songs on the album include “Shame,” “Southern,” and “Watch Us Fall,” each showcasing OMD’s knack for crafting memorable pop hooks and atmospheric soundscapes.
The Pacific Age showcases OMD’s evolution as songwriters and their willingness to experiment with different musical styles. While it may not have achieved the same level of commercial success as their earlier albums, it remains a solid entry in OMD’s discography and is appreciated by fans for its melodic sensibilities and polished production.
If you enjoy ’80s synth-pop and are interested in OMD’s music, The Pacific Age offers a blend of catchy pop melodies and electronic textures that capture the spirit of the era.
