Artist: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD)
Album: The Best of OMD 1988
Song: Secret
I got a secret and I cant explain
All the time, I've waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess youd better just wait and see
This is all, this is all
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
And all I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
My secret is this love
Is love, is love
All my secret is this love
Everyday youre always there
You comfort me
And make me feel its worth my while
And then I look around and you're not there
And everyday you say you care and I'll beware
This is all, this is all
Ive got a secret and I can't explain
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt
To see the sun and to walk the sand

Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark
Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark (often abbreviated to OMD) are a synthpop group whose founding members are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England. The group was founded by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, and they formed the core of the outfit until 1989, when the group split. McCluskey then retained the name and continued to record and tour as OMD with a new line-up.
In late December 2005, OMD's official website announced a 2006 reformation, for both live performances and a new album, with rehearsals beginning in summer 2006. The tour began in 2007, featuring the classic line up of McCluskey, Humphreys, Holmes and Cooper. Spring 2008 saw a further tour announced for October that year.

1985's biggest-hit "So In Love" by OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
Review.- Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (often abbreviated to OMD) are a synth pop group whose founder members are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, UK. OMD record for Virgin Records (originally for Virgin's DinDisc subsidiary).
Formed 1978 in Liverpool, England, and led by Paul Humphreys and Andy McCluskey, Orchestral Manoeuvres(often abbreviated to OMD) are a synth pop group whose founder members are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, UK. OMD record for Virgin Records (originally for Virgin's DinDisc subsidiary).
As teenagers, Humphreys and McCluskey were involved in several unsigned Wirral Peninsula bands, including Equinox, Pegasus, and the short-lived Hitlerz Underpantz. McCluskey would usually sing and play bass guitar, whilst electronics enthusiast Humphreys initially began as a roadie, graduating to keyboards. The pair shared a love of electronic music, particularly Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. The debut performance of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark was in October 1978 at Eric's Club in Liverpool.
The group released its first single, "Electricity," on Factory Records; the record led to a contract with the Virgin subsidiary DinDisc. Using their record advance, McCluskey and Humphreys built a studio, which allowed them to replace their four-track, and recorded with drummer Malcolm Holmes (formerly of the Id) and Dave Hughes (formerly of Dalek I Love You).
In 1980, the group released its self-titled debut album. Organisation appeared the same year, which featured the U.K. Top Ten single "Enola Gay"; Hughes was replaced by Martin Cooper after its release. The band's next few albums -- Architecture and Morality (1981), Dazzle Ships (1983), and Junk Culture (1984) -- found the band experimenting with its sound, resulting in several U.K. hit singles.
Recorded with two new members, Graham and Neil Weir, "Crush", their most pop-oriented album, found more success in America than in Britain as the single "So in Love" hit number 26 on the US charts and number 27 on UK charts. After that one hit, coming soon "Secret" reached number 63 on US charts and Number 34 on UK charts. "If You Leave," taken from the "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack, was their biggest American hit, climbing to number four in 1986 at US Hot 100.
they (Paul and Andy) formed the core of the outfit until 1989, when the group split. McCluskey then retained the name and continued to record and tour as OMD with a new line-up.

by alptraumwelle.com -
Propaganda ist eine deutsche Band, die 1982 von Ralf Dörper gegründet wurde, nachdem er Die Krupps (Düsseldorfer Elektronik-Band) verlassen hatte. Zusammen mit Andreas Thein und Susanne Freytag nahmen Propaganda als Trio zwei bislang unveröffentlichte Demos auf, darunter unter anderem eine Interpretation des Titels "Discipline" der Avantgarde-Gruppe Throbbing Gristle.
Michael Mertens und Claudia Brücken stießen später dazu. Das englische Label ZTT Records (später bekannt durch Frankie Goes to Hollywood) nahm die Gruppe unter Vertrag und produzierte 1984 das Lied "Dr. Mabuse". Produzent Trevor Horn und Journalist Paul Morley, die bereits kurz zuvor mit Art of Noise und Frankie Goes To Hollywood gearbeitet hatten, machten Gebrauch der neuen technischen Möglichkeiten, insbesondere des Samplings und der computerbasierten Aufzeichnung und des Arrangements. So wurde das Playback des Liedes zunächst als Experiment komplett im Computer erstellt.
"Dr. Mabuse" war ein kommerzieller Achtungserfolg und galt bereits kurz nach Erscheinen als hervorragend produzierte Pop-Nummer, von der mehrere aufwändig und differenziert produzierte Maxi-Singles erschienen. Unter dem Einfluss von Morley versuchte ZTT über die Video-Clips, das Artwork und die Medien-Kampagnen, der Band einen künstlerischen Avantgarde-Anspruch zu verleihen, der sich von dem üblichen Vermarktungsschema der Popmusik abhob.
Nach dem Erfolg der ersten Single verließ Thein die Band. Die in Europa sehr erfolgreichen Singles "Duel" und "P-Machinery" erscheinen 1985 mit dem Album "A Secret Wish", das heute als Klassiker der elektronischen Pop-Musik gilt und dessen Verkäufe im Laufe der Zeit die Millionenmarke überschritten. Das Album zeichnete sich durch aufwändig produzierten, tanzbaren Synthiebeat mit starker Melodiebetonung, getragen vom unterkühlten Gesang der Sängerinnen Claudia Brücken und Susanne Freytag aus. Die Band fand durch ihren Stil Beifall bei vielen Radiomoderatoren, blieb aber unter den Verkaufserwartungen ZTTs zurück. Es folgte u. a. eine Welt-Tournee.
Nach dem Remixalbum "Wishful Thinking" führten Differenzen zwischen den Bandmitgliedern und der Plattenfirma (ZTT) 1986 zum Rechtsstreit und dann zum Ausstieg von Brücken, die zu dieser Zeit mit ZTT-Manager Paul Morley verheiratet war. Claudia Brücken veröffentlichte 1990 als Solokünstlerin das Album "Love: And A Million Other Things" auf ZTT.
Nach langem Rechtsstreit gelang es der Band, den sittenwidrigen Vertrag zu verlassen. Spätere Versuche der Band, u. a. mit dem Album "1234", an die alten Erfolge in neuer Besetzung anzuknüpfen, blieben mäßig erfolgreich und wichen von dem ZTT-Stil der ersten Produktionen ab.
Band-Gründer Ralf Dörper verließ die Band während der Studioaufnahmen zu "1234" und nahm mit Andreas Thein unter dem Projektnamen Rififi den deutschen Acid-Dance-Hit "Dr. Acid & Mr. House" auf. Danach reformierte Dörper seine alte deutsche Band Die Krupps, die in den 1990er Jahren mit viel Erfolg den Sound des Industrial-Rock in Europa und Amerika prägte.
Propaganda versuchten 2004 in teilweiser Originalbesetzung ein Comeback mit neuen Stücken. Der Versuch blieb kommerziell erfolglos.
Erstmalig wieder in der Originalbesetzung Brücken, Dörper, Freytag, Mertens traten Propaganda im November 2004 in der Wembley Arena in London zu Ehren des Produzenten Trevor Horn auf. Das Konzert war eine Lebenswerk-Revue für Horn. Neben Propaganda traten auch Künstler wie Seal, Grace Jones, ABC und die Pet Shop Boys auf.
Anfang 2006 starteten Propaganda, ohne Brücken und Dörper, ein Comeback mit einer vier Stücke umfassenden Vinyl-Platte, der drei weitere Schallplatten folgen sollen.
Claudia Brücken ist aktuell Sängerin des Duos Onetwo, gegenwärtig u. a. im Vorprogramm von Erasure auf Tour. Den anderen Part der Gruppe übernimmt Paul Humphreys von Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, mit dem Brücken auch privat liiert ist.
