2. New entrance page

4. New pictures from Paul's show at the Metro in Chicago

Go to www.omdweb.com to check it out.

The OMD Discography has now been updated to link in some of the entries to the OMD Songwords section. The Discography has also been given a few cosmetic tweaks along with amendments and corrections for some entries.

The OMD Songwords section is now online and provides lyrics for a selection of classic OMD songs.

The first section of the revised and updated OMD Discography is now online. Although the scope of the Discography is continually being developed in a number of phases, we decided to jump several stages to concentrate on a much more detailed listing of OMD's UK record releases.

Each entry now features more pictures of the sleeves, record labels and CD's. A lot of the information has also been updated for some of the entries along with various corrections. A general price guide for each release has also been added.

The Album Discography is still in development and will follow very shortly.

The Promo Gallery section has also been revised, expanded and updated. It features a lot more promotional adverts for various OMD releases and hopefully it provides an interesting visual tour. Links for various record releases to their respective ads have also been added to the new Discography.

Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon made a surprise visit on the TV quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks recently - following in the footsteps of Andy McCluskey who also appeared on the show a few years ago.

Virgin have released a new compilation album titled Decades covering the music of the 60's, 70's and 80's. OMD feature on the 80's disc with Enola Gay.

Last weekend saw a gathering of the fans for One Mad Day - an event organised by OMD fans Ian Hayter, Bob McCluskey and Kevin Pretlove. Around 60 OMD fans made it to a hotel in Burnley for a day of OMD events including a quiz, slide show, rare video performances and the return of the OMD tribute band The Messerschmitt Twins.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was the appearance of both Paul Humphreys and Malcolm Holmes. Both Paul and Mally stayed to chat to fans and even fielded a Q+A session. As well as chatting about OMD, Paul discussed various aspects of his recent US tour while Mally answered questions on Fin Music.

Paul and Mally also stayed for the performance of The Messerschmitt Twins - a performance that included a radical drum and bass take on Red Frame/White Light alongside such OMD classics as Bunker Soldiers, Georgia and Secret. In fact, Mal was so impressed with the performance that he actually suggested a contact should the band decide to pursue The Messerschmitt Twins as a professional career. Paul Humphreys, clearly enjoying the gig, shouted out for (Forever) Live And Die during the band's performance. Paul was also treated to a tour of Junior Messerschmitt's keyboards (apparently, Paul has even taught his daughter to play Messages!).

The evening disco featured every OMD song you could wish to dance to and was livened up with a few choice Atomic Kitten tracks. The disco finished off with Electricity which featured both Paul and Mally having a boogie to the OMD classic.

Get well soon to organiser Bob McCluskey who was suffering from a rather nasty tooth abscess and was out of action during part of the day.

As well as postings on the OMD Guestbook and Forum, reviews and details on the event are available from:
