Orchestral Manouevers in the Dark
Crush
Genre: SynthPop

Whatever influence OMD had during Architecture & Morality has completely given way to lush romanticism of MOR synth pop. They want to be the soundtrack to your 80s Yachting adventure. Trouble is nobody is yachting and Duran Duran already set that standard 4 years before. 
You know what I am doing right now? 
Bills.
And this is actually perfect music to have in the background while I am doing that data entry. 
There’s nothing offensive here. It reminds me of Landscape. Perfectly harmless synth pop that works doubles as elevator music.
