Andy McCluskey of the OMD Federal Republic* had this to say:
“Dresden was always the one the radio pluggers wanted in the first place,” he laughs, “so we’ve put them out of their misery now, it’s a strong song, it’s got loads of energy and it’s very nice that its getting so well received.”
The single has been remixed by ex-Ultravox man John Foxx, who’s supporting OMD on the tour.
“It’s very very cool. He’s really stripped it down to a kind of analogue synth sound. We were very excited when we found out he could play with us. He’s somebody else who has a long heritage of electronic music and doing something interesting; but he’s still going forward and making new music and still getting great reviews so it’s an honour to have him come and play with us.”
