Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark ----- Electricity
46 years ago on today (21 May 1983), Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark released their debut single, 'Electricity'.
Recognised as one of the most influential singles of its era, "Electricity" was integral to the rise of the UK's synth-pop movement. It has garnered praise from music journalists and other recording artists. Cited by Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo) as being a influence with his decision to pursue #electronic music, it was this legendary single that convinced him.
Andrew Trendell of NME recognised "Electricity" as a "classic" and "one of the most influential singles of the post-punk era". The Guardian's Mary Harron wrote that the song "pioneered a new electronic pop", while Mike Mettler of Digital Trends said it "is generally acknowledged as being the pioneering inspirational synth-pop track for many early electronic artists". Author and musician Rudi Esch described "Electricity" as "a song that started a new movement"; Esch borrowed its title for his book, Electri_City: The Düsseldorf School of Electronic Music (2016). John Earls of Classic Pop called the track "groundbreaking", as did AFI and Blaqk Audio frontman, Davey Havok.
Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity
Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity
