OMD - Organisation It was an interesting experience listening to this twice today (and once yesterday). I really wanted this album when it came out. (1980) But I also could not afford LPs at a rate of more than one every blue moon, and other things I also badly wanted won out and I never owned it until more recently. It’s kind of tantalizing wondering what it would have sounded like to me then, and whether I would have liked it as much as I thought I would.

I didn't realise that the second album wasn't released as such in the US at the time. I think it is a great record except for the cover version (The More I See You). OTOH Stanlow is a wonderfully bleak piece to end with (named after the local oil refinery). Much love for the first and third albums here, no sure why Dazzle Ships never clicked with me.
@jonahpwll "In Memoriam" is indeed an excellent track and a big thanks for reminding me to listen to the great Don Cherry!
Another album of his that I really like is "Live at Cafe Montmartre 1966, Vol. 2" also featuring Gato Barbieri. The first track "Orfeu Negro" with its Brazilian influences is a particularly good listen.

I like it too. I don't mind The More I See You - I think my least favorite is Promise. The bonus tracks on the more recent release are quite worthwhile. Dazzle Ships has grown on me. Stanlow is great and a good pointer forward to some bits of Architecture and Morality I think.
New release from Wil Bolton, very pastoral. I've ordered the CD, and that's now 43 Wil Bolton albums that I've purchased. One of my more automatic buys.

The first track on the second disc has a shameless steal of a synth riff from a Pet Shop Boys hit.
