Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark ----- Dazzle Ships
Dazzle Ships is the fourth studio album by the English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released on 4 March 1983.
Dazzle Ships met with largely negative reviews and, despite reaching the top five of the UK Albums Chart, was regarded as a commercial flop. It nevertheless came to be recognised as a "cult classic", and an inspiration for many artists across electronic, rock and hip hop music. The music press gradually reversed its opinion of Dazzle Ships, praising the record as an underrated and misunderstood work, and an album ahead of its time.
