The new Paul Humphreys website at www.onemoredream.com has been updated. The site now features a detailed history of both Paul's and Claudia Brücken's musical careers as well as plans for naming their new musical partnership.

Jim Shiltz writes with an update on the Unofficial OMD Covers Website: Additions include a cover of Annex by a new contributor and also plans are being finalised for the Unofficial OMD Covers CD We Love You.

We Love You will be a compilation album featuring the very best of the tracks that have appeared on the Unofficial OMD Covers Website. Voting for tracks begins in the next week or two. If you have a track that you would like to contribute to the album, then please submit it no later than 1st December 2002. Jim and Adrian are aiming to release the album early in 2003.

A previously unseen interview with Andy McCluskey has just been posted up on the Compiled website. The interview had originally been conducted in 1998 as a potential article for the OMD fanzine Telegraph. To read the feature, click here: Andy Interview.

Hagen's OMD Fansite is a new German-based fansite set up by Hagen Schmitt.

The website is quite extensive with a biography, photos, sound files and a detailed discography that provides info on German OMD releases. The site also features a guestbook and messageboard. Click here to visit the site: www.hagen-schmitt-online.de/omd.htm

An update on The Id EP: The plan is to make the three track CD available via the OMD Website prior to Christmas.

The tracks have been cleaned up as best as they can be, although Andy isn't entirely happy with Electricity which still has some slight stereo phase incoherence. But this is due to the age of the original recordings.

The suggestion of also releasing The Id EP as a limited edition 7" vinyl release has also been put forward. What do you think of this idea? Vote in the OMD Poll on the right of the page.

The Unofficial OMD Covers Website has been looking for a new home - and thanks to Pat Fetty it appears to have found one. Pat has generously provided extra space on his World Of OMD website to accommodate the Covers site.

"Most of the MP3 links are working and have been sorted" adds Pat who also sums things up by adding "I thought fans would like to know that the covers site is now back and better than ever".
