I like "English Electric" in terms of OMD's songwriting. Almost all of it works strongly for me. It is a marked improvement from the last album, 'History of Modern," which was 10 good songs and what sounded like three leftovers from Andy's "teen svengali" period. But the arrangements and production on EE sound like soft synths recorded on a laptop. Then it was mastered with brickwalling. Net result? What could have been a great album was kneecapped. When I found out that JF+TM were opening for OMD I had hoped that perhaps OMD fan Benge could have a word with Andy & Paul in regards to perhaps producing their next album, which sorely needs his guidance. Little did I know that he would get involved immediately with this remix, which delivers profoundly in the areas where OMD don't see fit to bother with; namely the sound of their recordings. The remix of "Dresden" sounds immense to my ears. A high point of 2013 for me so far.
