OMD's synth "bomb" "Enola Gay"

"Orgaisation"'s album artwork

Everyone (or almost everyone) knows this song.
"Enola Gay" was released in 1980, as part of their studio album Organisation. OMD were formed in 1978, in Meols, a village on the northern coast of the Wirral Peninsula, in England. "Enola Gay" is considered the bands biggest hit so far and the one that made OMD go from their little town to the rest of the world. The name of this song was inspired by the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, on August 1945. "Enola Gay" was the airplane that carried "Little Boy", the first atomic bomb ever made, and dropped it on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. This song was the only single taken from Organisation (the bands second studio album). This single was sold more than 5 milion copies worldwide, which is a huge achievement for a band/artist. This is one of the songs that a person who loves history and music likes to listen to. Having a story behind a song is a huge "thing", especially when using synths. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark were given the abbreviation "OMD", maybe, because the bands name is bit hard to spell. This synthpop band released their "signature" song ("Enola Gay") at the time that synthpop started to become a reallity. They released other big hits such as "Messages", "Souvenir", "If You Leave", "Electricity" and a few more. Here's the video of the song for you to watch/listen to.
