Top band! Just been on that link.And there's no mention of the new line-up.Is it Andy,Paul and the Atomic Kittens? :laugh:

It's the quintessential OMD line-up of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes (drums) and Martin Cooper. This is the line-up that played on seven successive OMD albums, although the debut album was mainly Paul and Andy with some help by Martin (sax on Mystereality) and Malcolm (drumming here and there).

There are plans to play the whole of Architecture & Morality on a new tour. Their links with JD go back a long way as they played together a fair bit in the north. The JD-as-support thing is obviously a wind-up!

I'm there! You'd think they'd go the same route as The Cure and amalgamate a tour covering at least two albums.I'd go for Architecture,and Organisation,just about the best albums they've done.
