About this album

The Pacific Age shows Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark refining their synth-pop into a slicker, more melodic form without losing their experimental edge. Released in 1986, the album arrived as the band were consolidating their international profile, and its best-known single, '(Forever) Live And Die', gave them one of their biggest mainstream moments. Built on bright keyboard hooks, polished production and a colder, more reflective tone, the record balances radio-ready immediacy with the cerebral sensibility that had defined OMD from the start. It stands as one of the group’s most accessible late-80s statements.
