Quality band, did one of them go on to put the female band 'Girls aloud' together and manage like some sort of Svengali?.
Not heard their most recent stuff though but will endevour to.
I think you're thinking about Atomic Kitten - which was put together by OMD's Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw. Don't know much about Atomic Kitten's history, however.
I do recommend OMD's last 3 albums: History of Modern (2010); English Electric (2013); The Punishment of Luxury (2017). I think they're all really solid works and a great second act for a band that essentially was dead by the mid-90's.

Love 'em, both the less commercial, moody early stuff to their obvious commercial efforts. Amazingly, simce starting up again, they haven't missed a step.
Agreed. Last 3 records have been really solidly fantastic.
Great video.
I think I watched it once when it was first released but yeah, great video. Great song. They sound classic, yet modern.
Haven't heard the song before but watching that train with that beat is hypnotic.
Dazzle Ships was always my favourite , Loved the way it divided a lot of fans but 30 years later is now reckoned to be their most influencial and experimental
Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "Listen, mate, "life" has surface noise."

Probably my favourite, too, until Punishment of Luxury came out.
Always quite liked them. Enola Gay is still great even if only the second best anti-war track released in 1980!
I've always loved that song
Wont be to everyones taste I suspect, but I really like this doo wop-style cover version which is a lot more apt than you might imagine given the song actually harks back to the doo wop era in more ways than one.

Yep I'm totally down with the Doc on this. A fine band before and after.

I only know the 'Architecture & Morality' album, and I love every song on it. Not my usual genre vibe, but it struck me in '82 or whenever and still holds up for me. The two Joan of Arc songs are sublime.
