OMD, aka Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, are set to release a live version of one of their most notorious records, 1983's Dazzle Ships.
Recorded live at the Museum of Liverpool, the show captured the legendary electronic outfit recreating their cult classic LP on stage - and thankfully, it's been captured as a concert film for any fans who weren't able to head to the gig.
When first released, Dazzle Ships was not a critical or commercial success – it was deemed “difficult and fractured” by Record Mirror, and was called “redundant avant-garde trickery” by Time Out.
However, in the intervening years it has been re-discovered as a lost gem in the band's back catalogue, and has remained an inspiration for the likes of Radiohead, Mark Ronson, and St Etienne.
Watch an exclusive clip of the band playing Genetic Engineering.
"In 1983 it terrified the audience and proved to our record label that we had lost our Midas touch in the chart," explains frontman Andy McCluskey.
"To be able to play a song that was once the prelude to our near suicidal attempt to change the world through pop music and have it now treated as the return of the prodigal son at a concert in the largest new museum in Britain must surely signify something about the redemptive power of popular culture. Just don't ask me what that 'something' could be!"
The full CD and DVD of the show is available to pre-order on PledgeMusic, alongside a limited edition 12" picture disc LP for the avid collector.
OMD – Dazzle Ships, live at Museum of Liverpool is released on September 25
