17th June'02 Lots to talk about today.  First up are two new sections to the site:

OMD Live - A calendar of upcoming gigs where you can see/hear a live band cover an OMD song or two.  Contact us if you know of an upcoming event.

Official Covers - A discography of official sanctioned releases of OMD covers including  album art, audio clips, and links for purchasing music.  Let us know if we are missing anything.

Next up is a new cover from The Centroid.  This one is of the hardcore OMD fan favorite Sealand.

12th June'02 The updates keep coming and the In the Style of... page is beginning to look full...Today, we are delighted to add two tracks from The Centroid (one under the name AOTL with his brother). Both are cracking tracks and not to be missed. We look forward to The Centroid's remix of Sealand very soon...

7th June'02 First-up, we have the new Music in the Style of OMD page. This is an chance for all our contributors to show us what they do when they are not recording OMD songs. To get the ball rolling, Jim and I have contributed tracks, and we have a superb track from Invisible College. Watch out for more original music very soon.
Also, we have our longest remix yet, from a new contributor. Koen Kroeze has contributed his marathon 6 minute 24 remix of Julia's Song.

Previous Updates...

27th May'02 New remixes added by Roger Erickson.  First up is his very cool take on Invisible College's cover of OMD's Almost (whew!).  Then we get his remix of Walk Tall which puts him one song closer to remixing the complete Sugar Tax album.

21st May'02 Believe it or not, but someone remixed Architecture and Morality.  Welcome our newest contributor, Bosse (Bo Nordin).
NEW POLL!  Which is your favorite remix?
Congratulations to Britestar* for grabbing most of the votes with "Joan of Arc," and to Invisible College for grabbing the most votes overall in our "Favorite Cover" poll.  See the new Archived Polls section for complete results.
20th May'02 Another Messages cover.  This one is by Elektroniqa and is well worth the download!
17th May'02 It's only fair I suppose. My attempt at Souvenir is to download. You may laugh! (Adrian)


We still plan to expand our horizons with:

"We Love You : The unofficial OMD Tribute CD"
Still in the early stages of discussion... We'd like to go a step further and produce a CD of the very best cover versions produced by OMD fans....Watch this space...
