OMD 'loving life' on the road

Eighties synth legends Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark say they are loving life on the road ever since they reformed at the turn of 2006.The band have been playing their 1981 album Architecture And Morality in full along with a few old favourites as part of a 40 day tour.Singer Andy McCluskey said: "It has been a real journey of rediscovery. I think we managed to find those young lads who are inside the middle aged men, drag them out and dust them off and we've had a great time as well."We've literally had to listen to the original records to work out the parts and re-learn the parts on a few occasions."The band said they are now considering working on new material once they've finished touring.Keyboardist Paul Humphreys added: "We've got lots of plans but as I said we're taking little steps. We've realised there's still a lot of interest in MOD so we're going to move it onwards."© Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
