简介:  Junk Culture is the fifth album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1984. The three most successful singles from the album were 'Locomotion', which reached in the UK, which reached number 5 in the UK, 'Talking Loud and Clear' (No. 11), and 'Tesla Girls' (No. 21).      With this album, OMD regained their commercial grounding following the poor reception and sales to their previous effort Dazzle Ships. It had a much slicker sound in contrast to Dazzle Ships's experimental nature, largely attributed to the band's acquisition of the Fairlight CMI digital sampling and sequencing workstation. The title track is an instrumental with heavy dub overtones and tape collages, 'All Wrapped Up' is a calypso pop song, and 'Talking Loud and Clear' features a soprano saxophone melody. The cover artwork was designed by Peter Saville.      In a 2013 online poll, Junk Culture was voted the 35th best album of 1984 based on the opinions of over 35,000 respondents.
