Liberator

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark • 12 songs • 49 min

Liberator is the ninth studio album by the English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released on 14 June 1993 by Virgin. Recorded by OMD frontman Andy McCluskey along with musicians enlisted for the multi-million selling Sugar Tax, the album ventures further into the dance-pop style explored by its predecessor. Following the success of Sugar Tax, OMD staged a UK tour of large venues in support of Liberator, with Gary Numan as the opening act. The record did not match the popularity of its forebear, peaking at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart and selling almost half a million copies by mid-1996. It spawned three singles; lead single "Stand Above Me" and follow-up "Dream of Me" were Top 25 entries on the UK singles chart. Reviews of Liberator were mixed. McCluskey has been critical of the record, calling it "busy and messy".
