"A positive reaction to a difficult world"
We are very proud to announce this exciting compilation album release, which features our song, Adulation, taken from our album, Doppelgänger.
Adulation is a very special song, because Andy McCluskey from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark produced this track. He produced 2 songs on our Doppelgänger album.
Andy's band (OMD) first emerged onto the electronic scene in the late 70s. Their first single, Electricity, was played by the resident DJ, Rusty Egan, at the Blitz Club on a regular basis, due to his love of electronic music. So we felt it was only fitting to put Adulation forward for the Generation Blitz compilation.
