Análisis (en inglés) - :
Looking back on 20 years of creative growth since the {\electro}-{\pop} band's inception, {^The OMD Singles} is logically and chronologically arranged. The earliest recordings, 1980's {&"Electricity"} and {&"Messages,"} prove electric messages were being channeled from such German pioneers as {$Kraftwerk} and {$Neu!} These English boys were enamored of melody, though, and it was not long before such dulcet, song-like structure became self-evident, as in 1984's {&"Tesla Girls."} From then on, it is a steady climb in coherence, with synth rhythms downplayed in order to bring the melodic theme to the front. The pinnacle of this progression is {$OMD}'s memorable {&"So in Love"} (1985) and {&"If You Leave"} (from 1986's {#Pretty in Pink}). The album closes with their last hit, 1996's {\glam}-influenced autobiography {&"Walking on the Milky Way."} The last original member, {$Andy McCluskey}, has blessed this greatest-hits package as the final swan song for the long-lived group. Originating in {\post-punk} synth experimentation and closing in dated, but still strong, {\pop} productions, {^The OMD Singles} is an excellent time line of the band whose sound covered in a single career that same territory explored by {$the Human League}, {$Erasure}, {$Yaz}, {$New Order}, and beyond. ~ Thomas Schulte, All Music GuideAnálisis (en inglés) - :
