It's now possible to listen to the entire album at OMD's My Space page. Like more or less promised in the title "History of modern" it's a mix of 80s and 2010 sounds. There's some classic OMD tracks and some very 2010ish songs. There's some songs for those who like the experimental OMD the most and there's even a song with Yazoo-like synth (Green)!!! Green is also one of the better songs on an album that needs to be listened to a couple of times for it to grow. My favourite song so far is by quite some distance "Sister Marie says" which is a fantastic song with early 80s sound!

They are touring
 Poul E, I would join you in London or Berlin, if you want to see them live, I'm sure more people would join us. Btw, the new album is excellent, this is among the best OMD has ever done, I can't stop listening to "History of Modern (Part I)".....perfect, just perfect....

Yes I agree Willy....History of modern (part 1) is fantastic!!! After listening only a couple of times to the songs I have to say that this song is my favourite. A fantastic mix of old and new sound that really works!!!
I have been thinking about joining the concert in Hamburg, but I haven't yet decided... |

I received the box today! I must say that it looks great!! All the songs are on the DVD with lyrics on the screen....a great feature
 There are 6 really great songs on the album and the rest will take some time to like I think. The 6 are "History of modern - parts 1 and 2", "If you want it", "Sister Marie says", "Green" and "RFWK" |
