O.M.D. - Locomotion. Top Of The Pops 1984

Good quality video. Recorded live in the studio from Top Of The Pops 1984. The group was founded in 1978 by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys who remained, and were perceived as, the core members. Adding sidemen Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper by the end of 1980, this quartet (with occasional line-up fluctuations) was the live concert line-up until 1989, when Humphreys, Cooper and Holmes all left OMD to found The Listening Pool. McCluskey then retained the OMD name and continued to record and tour as OMD with new line-ups through 1996.
Though McCluskey essentially retired the OMD name in 1996, shortly thereafter Humphreys began playing live shows as OMD with other musicians on an as-needed basis, but without McCluskey. Then in late December 2005, OMD's official website announced a forthcoming reformation of the 'classic' 1980s line-up (Humpheys/McCluskey/Cooper/Holmes), both for live performances and for a new studio album. This reformed quartet began touring in 2007, and further successful sold out tours took place in 2008 and 2009. OMD's most recent studio album History of Modern was released on 20 September 2010. Recorded from Top Of The Pops 1984. Pease visit my other Channel. Keep Rockin!.

I can't say no, I can't say yes
I can't even write down my own address
I can't touch Heaven, it's a little too far
It's the only way to travel, got dreaming on a par
I'm staring through the window
Wonder where you are?
Moving through the landscape
At a million miles an hour

No one knows this kind of music around here

You might get lucky to hear it one on the radio you'll be lucky I don't know why

Though I didn't realise it at the time this track and the album it came from marked a gradual reduction in my levels of interest in OMD although as a fan at the time I continued to buy subsequent albums. I had a nagging feeling that what I originally liked about the band was being gradually lost in their understandable efforts to be more commercial after the poor reception at the time to the Dazzle Ships album. I don't think they have ever quite got back to the original essence that made their first three albums so vital and different.
