i'm grateful for the fact that them and depeche mode are still around and making good music and putting the effort to please themselves and we the fans can enjoy it.

A song I would love to hear on tour is "Never Turn Away"!

[@user-ll9fh1pz5d]

Yes one of the hidden gems, I love that song, so different and atmospheric. With a vast amount of music made over the years I think this song will remain in the vaults of our mind tho.

[@ToyTiger666]

Very underrated. I also had the Maxi Single at the time.

[@user-ll9fh1pz5d]

I think it may have got into the top 40 ? But just about. Remember buying the 12 inch, and hearing it on Mike Read show on radio 1. But that was about it.

[@paulmca8514]

Never Turn away is one of my top 5 OMD songs, the 12" extended version is even better. I still have the 12" and the 7" pic disc. It only got to number 70 in UK charts.

A great and wonderful work

[@deanhumphries7878]

Fantastic new album from the boy's and to get to number 2 in the album charts is fantastic and fully deserved, can't wait to see them in Oxford.

[@davidbaldwin602]

Honest interview by Paul and Andy as always......they have stated that when the creativity and "something new" stops they will. Only fair but I don't want that to happen!?

[@GET_YOUTUBE_VIEWS_66]

I never knew I had this much curiosity about random things.

[@GoldBug78]

….OMD forever…. 🙏🥰

[@carlosiglesiapuig6488]

Would it be possible to put the videos of the songs you played after the Q&A?

[@AdeSwat]

Playing XTC just before the start....OMD and XTC my two favourite bands.. what's not to like? 😊

[@radamesboscolo]

I was in the bomb years

[@daviddredge1178]

So Paul wears clown shoes! lol

[@paulmca8514]

I so wanted to like this, but I don`t. We have heard this all before so many times since they started writing " new " material. How many Kraftwerk influenced tracks has Andy written ? This could be from any of the albums from History Of Modern onwards, it`s the same slight vibrato on the lead synth hooks, the same da de da de daa pattern to the lyrics, and a train inspired rhythm. I don`t hear anything original here. IMHO Andy has all but lost his ability to write much of substance , since HOM his writing has been so formulaic, there has been a few good tracks on each album, but the rest just sounds like a re-hash of old idea`s, done to death and back. Verushka and Healing are the only tracks that held my attention, most of the rest of the album just left me very disappointed, exactly like the previous three albums. I will give it 1 out of 5.

For me the best album of the 2000s.🥹🫠 It's perfect for me and combines many works by you and some idols.Thank you so much! XX Hke❤🎉

[@marcberghaus7838]

You are right, but do not tell them . I want them to continue

[@jotalyt]

Listen to the B-sides!! Tomorrow is today… They got that all wrong! It’s an A-side!! 😀 Very catchy melody and powerful singing by Andy. Silver Cloud js great as well, but would need a ‘radio remix’ and vocals. I feel with Bauhaus Staircase Andy and Paul have delivered one of their very best albums ever! Congrats guys!
