Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark : Statues
On October 24, 1980 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark released Organisation, their second album of the year. Featuring their recent single "Enola Gay", early version of the album also offered a seven inch single of live recordings from November '78 and invitations to join their fan club.
The song "Statues" is a tribute to Ian Curtis.
A review by Steven Grant of Trouser Press is less kind:
Orchestral Manoeuvres sounds like Freddy cannon doing the Ultravox songbook. The music is predictably ethereal, and wallows in the doomsaying that is the trademark of "serious" synthesizer artistes...the end result is bland music; Gary Numan sets houses on fire by comparison.
