The link to the CD single no longer works. I now see the 7" and 12" on their products page both 'sold out' but no entry for the CD single at all...

I must admit I was seriously worried about the new album after hearing "Bauhaus Staircase", a very average track and the dreadful "Slow Train", however, I am happy to report that the other 10 tracks on the album are awesome, why they chose those 2 tracks as tasters for the album I will never know.

The album is full of quality tracks "Anthropocene", "Look At You Now", "Where We Started", "Veruschka" (In my all time Top 10 OMD tracks), "Aphroditie's Favourite Child" and the BANGER that is "Kleptocracy" (Play this one very loud, if they play this live it will work the crowd to a frenzy!).

Aside from the 2 tracks I have mentioned this is one of OMD's best ever albums, fabulous futuristic sound.

For a band that has been going over 40 years (and never got the respect they deserve), they can't half knock a tune out!
