by Orchestral Manœuvres in the Dark

Following up the massive success of their 'Crush' album, the synth-pop pioneers delivered a lavishly produced, deeply romantic set of songs. Despite containing the hit '(Forever) Live and Die', the record's heavy reliance on brass samples and polished commercial aesthetics foreshadowed a prolonged period of internal band friction.
