OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the D-
ark) covers! by Aryxus

"This is a list of cover versions (some great, some sucky) of songs originated by OMD. It is an ongoing list, as I have to search on every OMD song title, then listen to each sample to make sure it's not any of the million other songs called Electricity, for example."

“OMD”

FROM Catfight

BY Hefner

"(added 10/15/08) While not a cover, the title namecheck and atmosphere of the song should please any OMD fan. Plus, you can almost see the girl in the song dancing amongst 80s prom decorations while listening to this wonderful tune. Very sweet, but far from saccharine." less

"INCREDIBLY cool cover of Bunker Soldi..." more

"INCREDIBLY cool cover of Bunker Soldiers! In fact, I haven't stopped listening to this 2-disc set since I downloaded it. Not only is the OMD cover the best one on eMusic (and a strange choice, too), the rest of the songs are wonderful as well. Highly recommended." less

“Genetic Engineering”

FROM The Hann-Byrd EP

BY Oxford Collapse

"One of the better OMD covers; definit..." more

"One of the better OMD covers; definitely worth a download. IMHO, the best cover of Genetic Engineering was by Optiganally Yours (http://www.optigan.com/oy.html)" less

"This is an EXCELLENT cover version, i..." more

"This is an EXCELLENT cover version, in that it offers something new, is quite listenable, and won't piss off any true-blue OMD fans. See also" less

"kind of a muzak version."

“Enola Gay”

FROM It's Alive

BY SPIHA

"rock version."

"Yes it's a cover of an OMD song that is rarely covered. But should you download it? Hell no. It's horrible. Not horrible in a cheesy fun way, but simply bad. Avoid." less

"punk version. not great."

"This is the Apoptygma Berzerk version, which shows up on approximately 79 different compilations on eMusic. Not bad, though." less

"Meh. Hi NRG. Sort of."

"Ummmm.... unusual?"

"Not exactly a cover version. This is ..." more

"Not exactly a cover version. This is The Id, which (as any true fan knows) was the precursor to OMD. Pretty cool find!" less

"Dalek I Love You! Another precursor to OMD." less

"(added 11/1/08) EXCELLENT cover!"
