The Pacific Age 1986

electronic, synthpop, pop, new wave 40 min 10 tracks Virgin Records

The Pacific Age is the seventh studio album by the English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released on 29 September 1986 by Virgin Records. It was the last of two OMD studio albums produced by Stephen Hague, after Crush (1985). The record exhibits the same refined production values as its predecessor while venturing into the realm of mid-1980s sophisti-pop, retreating further from the group's experimental beginnings.
