Intrigued by the idea of modern day record mixers working on some of the old
OMD songs, Andy McCluskey and Virgin began looking at a list of songs and possible
artists to work on them. Virgin suggested The Micronauts while Andy suggested
Sash!, Apollo 440 and Moby.
The early plan was to produce an album's worth of mixes which would be issued
with initial copies of The OMD Singles album. However, this proved too expensive
and the idea was scrapped.
The remix of Enola Gay uses samples taken from a video documentary on the Enola
Gay mission.
The remix of Electricity also uses a sample from Bunker Soldiers (a track from
OMD's debut album).
