(Thread) It is one year today since @Tim_Burgess did his first @LlSTENlNG_PARTY. Such a wonderful idea. Since then we have been fortunate to take part in 5 of these brilliant events (with a 6th to follow this Saturday) You can replay any of the 5 we have done so far (Architecture & Morality, Dazzle Ships, The Punishment of Luxury, Sugar Tax, Organisation) at the @LlSTENlNG_PARTY website. Just search for OMD!

TRACK 2 – ISOTYPE Originally intended to be a short rather esoteric piece about the International System of Typographic Education. Basically, the reduction of words and concepts into symbols. One of the tracks using the text to speak voices that we liked when making the album.

TRACK 1 – THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY This track is a classic tale of OMD recycling.

The melody was written by Paul and myself many years earlier, but the rest of the piece never worked until I completely rewrote the rest of the backing. Only then did I think of putting the lyrics on.

THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY

Our 3rd #timstwitterlisteningparty (thanks so much for having us again @Tim_Burgess!)

Also our 13th studio album released on September 1st 2017 The title was appropriated from a painting by Segantini which hangs in Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery. I have always loved the powerful image but the frankly misogynist theme of “bad mothers” in purgatory is not the reason for the title usage.
