Orchestral manouvers in the dark

Yesterday i dug out some 80's vinyl to play and rediscovered some OMD, i love the 80's synth pop stuff.
I alwas remember in school i refused to follow the normal classical music stuff and so was left to write about my two favourite music genres of the time, punk and synth/electronic stuff eg:- kraftwerk
Looking back on OMD their early work is vry industrial sounding and dark, like these two tracks im posting:-
Enola gay (we all know what the Enola Gay was)
Stanlow
the first and last songs off the album Organisation from 1980

Stanlow here
Enola Gay here

Barnyard Ballers - God Boy

Heres another psychobilly related track ive just got introduced to, or rather he said they are "pervy punkabilly"
you can tell they are part rockabilly part punk, as they veer from a demented deliverence type sound to a GBH type punk thrash and back again, all the while the lyrics are quite pervy and bawdy :)

Empress of fur - Johnny Voodoo

Heres a song i really love at the minute, i first heard it on a Psychobilly compilation cd i found in a charity shop.
Its like a mix of rockabilly and southern delta blues......quite dark and mysterious.
Epmress of fur are quite sleezy and glamorous as they feature two slinky females in their ranks and have supported the likes of the cramps etc.

The Dead C - Love

Heres a great song by the Dead C called Love

I listened to this song this morning on the way to work and it conjured up images of a dilapidated 1970s urban landscape, all closed factories and dark skies etc.
The rest of their album (harsh 70s reality) is all dissonence, feedback and drones, its on the fringes of what i enjoy listening to.
