  In this episode of the LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with Andy McCluskey, singer and co-founder of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), for a conversation that blends history, creativity, and reflection. Speaking on the heels of OMD’s recent 2025 U.S. tour and the 40th anniversary reissue of Crush, Andy offers an inside look at what it took for the band to break into the American market after years of reinvention. Andy recalls the intense late nights recording Crush with producer Stephen Hague, and how the experimental chaos of Dazzle Ships led OMD to regroup and redefine their sound through Junk Culture and Crush. He details the band’s distinctive creative process—from tape loops and early samplers like the Emulator and Fairlight to the unique textures that shaped tracks like “Secret” and the Japanese-inspired title song. Throughout the episode, Andy shares behind-the-scenes moments that shaped OMD’s legacy: writing “If You Leave” at the last minute for Pretty in Pink, the bittersweet radio life of “Secret,” and the political spark behind “88 Seconds in Greensboro.” He also reflects on OMD’s roots—early Liverpool gigs, lifelong friendships, and the art and imagery (including Edward Hopper’s influence on the Crush cover) that helped define their identity. The conversation closes with a look ahead at OMD’s plans for future touring and new music—proof that even after four decades, Andy’s passion for innovation and melody remains as sharp as ever.

David speaks candidly about the band’s highs and lows, the tragedy of Janis’s passing, and the legacy they all helped shape. But this is more than a trip through the past—David is still creating, still pushing forward. The episode also highlights his recent solo release, Anthems, Themes, and Little Stories—an evocative collection of music that blends storytelling, poetry, and musicianship honed over a lifetime.
