“Maid Of Orleans (The Waltz Joan Of Arc)” / “Navigation” (Dindisc DIN140) January 1982
OMD | Maid Of Orleans | (Dindisc) 1982 | Confusing array of 12″ and 7″ versions with weird track listings . . . But the main theme has that epileptic dingbat ‘singing’ over what sounds like a mutated electronic version of the ‘Skye Boat Song’.
Emotion? Dave Edmunds’ guitar break on Fogerty’s ‘Almost Saturday Night’ says more, faster, better . . . (Sounds, 16/01/82)
OMD | Maid Of Orleans | (Dindisc) 1982
Second instalment of OMD’s love affair with Joan Of Arc, this one being in waltz time and, to these ears at least, a better listen than the last.
Top three with no bother, of course. Also available as a 12-inch in one of two gorgeously over the top packages. (Record Mirror, 16/01/82)
