Pat Fetty writes with details of updates to his World Of OMD Website. Pat has added 10 more video clips to the Motion & Heart section of his site, including clips from the disco and the Synthpop Idol event.

Pat also adds that he's working on including footage from a TV special on the Synthstock 2000 event which Paul Humphreys performed at. The TV special features interviews with both Paul and Claudia, plus brief clips from their performance in Salt Lake City.

As well as more details on what you'll receive as a subscriber, there's also an online order form ready to take your subscription.

Meanwhile, the OMD Merchandise page has been updated to reflect the addition of both Messages and ordering Fin Music items.

A new addition to the OMD Forum: A Musician's Forum set up for people to discuss and exchange ideas about making music. This new forum is an experimental idea for now, but hopefully enough people will find it useful for their projects.

Anyone who has had difficulty obtaining copies of the album Still Life by The Listening Pool will be happy to know that they can now order copies via the OMD Website.

The Listening Pool were the band that Martin Cooper, Paul Humphreys and Mal Holmes formed post-OMD and Still Life presents a fine collection of their songs.

A special page has been set up on the OMD Merchandise section for Fin Music (the label set up by Mal Holmes) to take orders for Still Life, the Oil For The Lamps Of China CD single and the critically acclaimed album Loser Friendly by Dean Johnson.

For more details, or to place an order, just follow this link: Fin Music Merchandise.

You can also win copies of the above records in the new OMD Competition. Just answer three simple questions to win a box of Fin Music goodies.

Viewers tuned into Sky Cinema at 12.10pm tonight will be able to see Urgh! A Music War - a selection of live performances from 1980 from artists such as The Police, Echo And The Bunnymen, Gary Numan, Pere Ubu and Devo. OMD also feature with a live performance of Enola Gay.
