Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room OMD - History of Modern

I heard the first single at work today. Didn't know it or register it until the end and have no idea if I enjoyed it or not! Will listen out again.

I believe 'If You Want It' really kicks ass, and is one of the best new singles I've heard in ages.

Is it too "80s"?? Is it too OMD?? yes
Will it break the charts?? proabbaly not

Who cares!! Great single if you ask me. It has the immediacy and catchiness that you'd expect and stands out as a perfect choice for drawing attention to the handshakes and re-invention.

Lacks auto-tuning though. Schoolboy error, lads :rolleyes:

Maybe the lack of auto-tuning is deliberate..to give it an "analogue" feel .. or something..I don't even know what it means but anyway I still thinkit's a strong single . .apparently on the BBC Radio 2 playlist and who can say if they won't go top 20 ?!?!
