Seasons greetings and a happy Christmas to all visitors to the OMD Website :-)

A new OMD Competition is now available to test the skills of OMD fans over the Christmas period. Prizes up for grabs include an OMD CD of your choice as well as exclusive Andy McCluskey signed prints of the Navigation sleeve artwork.

For those that missed the recent Future Music interview with Andy McCluskey, an online version is available. This version is also the original and unedited interview which expands on Andy's comments on OMD, Atomic Kitten and his current dealings with the music industry. The interview is available by going here: Andy McCluskey interview. Thanks to Taoyoyo for pointing this link out.

A new OMD Survey is up : Which song from OMD's debut album is your favourite?

Pat Fetty writes with details of more updates to his World Of OMD website: The Best Of OMD sheet music section gets completed with the addition of sheet music for Secret, So In Love, (Forever) Live and Die, Dreaming and If You Leave .

Pat has also added 10 new video clips including footage from the post-show party at the Sun Theatre after Paul Humphreys' show there last year. The other clips are a selection of rare TV performances and live shows.

In addition to all that, Pat says:

"After doing some house cleaning, I have found some very rare posters that I didn't know I had. 3 of them are giant sized (about the size of a door) and are promo posters for the singles So In Love, Never Turn Away and We Love You. I have also found a poster that promotes the Pacific Age tour. I have put all 4 up for auction on E-Bay, and there are direct links to the auctions on my OMD for Sale page."

In case you missed it, the issue of Future Music featuring an interview with Andy McCluskey is now out. The interview is part of an article on the 80's scene in general and Andy discusses OMD, Atomic Kitten and the whole 80's revival which is currently in vogue. The article also features interviews with John Foxx and members of Human League, Duran Duran and Cabaraet Voltaire. The magazine is available from most newsagents in the UK or you can visit their website at www.futuremusic.co.uk.
