OMD book returns…
Following on from the original 2018 publication of Pretending To See The Future, a new edition in soft back format is due for release this month.
Compiled by author Richard Houghton, the OMD book provides a comprehensive window on OMD’s 40-year history. Along the way, it pulls in commentary from band members, assorted colleagues from their past (and present), guest writers and also the fans themselves. Among the contributors are established names such as Professor Brian Cox, Gary Numan, Phil Oakey, Howard Jones, Peter Saville, Karl Bartos and Vince Clarke.
As a result, the book is a hybrid affair that presents an oral history of the band combined with a fascinating visual archive of OMD’s extensive musical history.
In the Electricity Club review for the book, writer Barry Page concluded: “…this is an indispensable book – one which OMD fans will treasure for years to come.”
The new softback release runs at 516 pages (compared to the original’s 470) which includes a bonus extras section containing an additional 100 stories from OMD fans.
All books pre-ordered also have the option of including a personal dedication and being signed by Richard Houghton.
Pretending To See The Future is due for publication on 28th June 2019. Pre-order Price £24.99
