2:28 So cool he spent days identifying which species of bird gave a call he’d heard, then going back to the location and sampling that specific kind of bird, all to use the sound on a track.

One of my new favourite bands. It blows my mind how insanely good they were from 78 - 83 and in a way how overlooked they have been by history. I blame it on their their shift in a poppier direction from the mid 80's. As a result I feel like a lot of serious music listeners have written them off as no more than a hit or miss singles band. Those first 4 albums are masterpieces that transcend the throwaway synth pop genre of the time. I would say they were to Post Punk / experimental electronic music of the early 80s that the Beatles were to Psychedelic Rock of the 60s . They could write the big hits but there was undeniable substance, an experimental edge and a timeless quality to the records they were making.

Love this interview, great to see Andy ‘s honest reflections .

Andy's always friendly, eager to talk, and always gives a good interview. Thanks

Thank you for this, i love you OMD

great interview love omd he seems a really nice interesting guy (8

I often use mythology/religious archetypes and symbolism in my poetry/music. I think there are some beautiful stories and representations we can glean from the stories and characters, regardless of our personal beliefs. Andy pretty much says what I saw when people ask me, "Do you believe in God?" What a lovely mind to have a solid philosophical conversation with.

Great interview! Very interesting. Great guy 👌

amazing man...

Well done for getting an interview with Andy.

Great interview and questions! So glad to hear that 2018 might see the reissues of 'Crush', 'The Pacific Age', and 'Sugar Tax'!

Love you Andy!

Thanks for the interview! We hope they'll come to Moscow someday!

I love you Andy!!!!

Excellent interview Neil... What makes it so good is that Andy is comfortable chatting to someone he's known since 1991!!!!

I love OMD, A-Ha, Wham, Culture Club & some of my favorite groups/singer from the 80's.

OMD DESERVE MORE SUCCESS...

Waz- I get to see em in Minneapolis on May 22, they still gottit!

Brilliant stuff..I love Andy’s bass playing!

💘

Very interesting chat !

Lots of "errmmmsssss.....". Great interview mind you.

I couldn't catch what Andy said when he was asked "Would you do a collaboration with another electronic band?"... did he mumbled "We wouldn't" or "We would"??? And clearly he wasn't so comfortable talking about it, was he?

It would be great to have a Q&A with Malcolm and Martin for a change.

Anyway Mr. Taylor, I see you often interview Andy, how about you interview Paul some other time? :D I prefer Paul to Andy lmao so I'll really love to watch that

As a Catholic it's very hard for me to hear how Andy "debunks" God. I ones heard a quote: ,,The most persistent atheist was once a Christian". To me God is as real as my own parents. - As is Christ himself. Besides, I know something is about to happen. Around the end off the year. Andy WILL BE SHOCKED. As a lot (like billions) of other people. Unfortunately I can't tell what exactly, cause then I will be banned from KZfaq... I'm not mad, I can't be. I'm just a bit sad. He is real, you know.. And He will let the people know Kind regards, Bas
