Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark are one of those bands whose songs impressed me, but I just never quite got around to picking up that first CD. I finally rectified by getting the sixteen-track compilation The Best of Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark. Overall, the songs are quite strong, although, for me, there are a few of the earlier tracks which might have to grow on me. Still, the band had a lot of well crafted new wave-influenced pop songs. Favourites, both previous and newly-discovered, include "Dreaming," "Tesla Girls," "So in Love," "Enola Gay," "(Forever) Live and Die," "Locomotion," and the one that still gets good radio play, "If You Leave."
