"OMD will be reforming next year both for the purposes of live performances and also a new OMD album. Unfortunately it's too early to give definite plans, but the approximate timeline is for a series of warm-up gigs in the UK in September 2006, which may be expanded to include other countries in the mid-Autumn period. A fuller touring schedule along with album release details is planned for Spring 2007.
The band line-up will consist of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Mal Holmes and Martin Cooper. The line-up will also include Stuart Kershaw for live shows.
Paul Humphreys and Claudia Claudia Brücken will spend the first half of 2006 completing the OneTwo debut album planned for a Spring release with gigs scheduled for April and May.
The UK shows will also be special showcase performances in which OMD will perform Architecture & Morality in its entirety. These shows will be by special invitation only as well as for the press."
Hurrah.
Meanwhile, Popjustice have already enthusiastically reviewed the forthcoming Pet Shop Boys album 'Fundamental' and claimed that is their best since 'Very'. Nice. This is the tracklist:
1. God willing
2. Minimal
3. The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
4. I'm with Stupid
5. Psychological
6. I made my excuses and left
7. Integral
8. Numb
9. Luna Park
10. Casanova in Hell
11. Twentieth Century
12. Indefinite leave to remain
Come on, 2006!
