We are really proud of this - our Electronic Cafe interview with the legendary Andy McCluskey discussing the new album Bauhaus Staircase ..... amongst other things.
Bauhaus Staircase - tell us what you think of the album (and our interview) 🎵🎹
You guys should indeed be proud. This is quite a prize among so many boys. Love your work, content.
Love Andy McCluskey and OMD! Absolutely brilliant chat. Will be listening to the new album today. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Ondina for your on going support for the Electronic Cafe-Andy xx
Thanks Ondina. Thanks for kind words and always supporting Electronic Cafe. Enjoy the album. MW x
I think another interview after the tour would be amazing ! The guys must be absolutely stoked with the success of a brilliant album and a sell out tour :)
We'll see what we can do. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Fantastic album, the more you listen to it the better it sounds. Musical art at its clever best.
Great comments. Totally agree. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
I just managed to sit down and watch this. Great job guys and well done!
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe. MW
thank you sir! And for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
I've always had the impression that Andy McCluskey is a genuinely nice bloke, this interview confirms it, but also shows the renaissance man of culture beyond the music. Great job Mark & Andy!
thank you sir appreciate you watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Couldn't agree more!. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Great interview.
Andy is as 'Andy' as ever.
I love OMD.
I learned music by ear by playing every piece of music on OMD's first five albums.
I have all of their albums and 12" singles.
Excellent work. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
I can't wait to hear the new songs live!
Me too. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
We can't either - thank for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Well, at the weekend I got to see OMD at Ipswich. OMG they were brilliant. I hope you got to see them and the fantastic Walt Disco. These are memories I will never forget :)
We saw them in London this week with Howard Jones. Fantastic.
Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Great interview. Thanks for this. I’ve loved OMD since I was a little kid. I’m going to see them at the O2 next March.
Glad you enjoyed it!. So are we. Thanks for your comments and for watching the Electronic Cafe. MW
Thanks Rebecca - we're at the 02 also! thanks for watching the electronic cafe -Andy
Great interview Gents … always so much better when it is fans who are knowledgeable and respectful of the artist that are responsible and involved in the discussion 👌🏼
Thank you my friend, Mark and I really appreciate feedback like this- thank you for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Thank you, glad you enjoyed. Thanks for both watching the Electronic Cafe and your kind words. MW
A brilliant hour! Loved OMD since the beginning and agree that the first album is one of the best 80's albums... Thanks for the memories and the excellent interview guys!
you are so welcome Ian and thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Thanks for kind words + for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Fantastic episode and a lovely lovely bloke. Well done guys
Thanks Seamus. Thanks for your comments and for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Seamus thank you and for watching the Electronic Cafe-Andy
I watched the Bauhaus Staircase video when it came out, wasn't sure about the song, but the vid was good.
Downloaded the album and played it whilst working, to see if it caught my attention, in a good way. And it did. Really well mixed (well done Paul) and some really catchy and lovely songs. Andy's voice just hasn't aged at all, except for being stronger and more reassured.
I still think Architecture and Morality is their best album, but BS (unfortunate initials) will get a few plays over the coming weeks to become more familiar with it. A great effort 40+ years into a career. Congratulations, I hope it gets loads of mainstream attention.
thank you for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Great comments. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Super interview gentlemen, thank you 🙏🏻
Your welcome my friend thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe- Andy
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Thanks for this excellent interview! I've always loved OMD but as a kid with a limited budget I never had any of their singles or albums. Thanks to YT I've been binging on their videos and realized just how much I've been missing out on. I soon realized that OMD is on par with Pet Shop Boys [whose releases I have all of and most in multiple formats] for historical references and criticism of our modern world and the criminals that are running it. Their videos, sound, and lyrical genius has been consistently great across these decades and the latest batch from the new album sealed the deal. So it's funny that Andy mentions tripling the budget for them-- if I am any example, it was money well spent, because I am pleased to say that their new album will be the first OMD in my collection. I ordered the limited double CD yesterday as an import from their site UK because the US site was already sold out. Can't wait to get it and hear the second disc of extras. Now to fill out the rest of my OMD collection. Fan recommendations would be appreciated for this newbie.
Glad we’re helping you find cool music, thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe - Andy
Great comments and thanks for sharing and especially your kind words and watching Electronic Cafe. Certainly the OMD / Architecture & Morality album is a MUST get. Thanks. MW
You can get their " greatest hits of the 70s". Enjoy !
An amazing album. I just love it
Me too. Album is fantastic. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Another great interview guys. I’m loving the Bauhaus Staircase album & await your next interview. I’d love to see Dave Hughes interviewed about his time with OMD, DALEK I & Godot.
thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe Ian - Andy
Thanks for comments and for watching Electronic Cafe. Much appreciated. MW
Absolutely Brilliant. Love the new OMD album and I love that Andy hasn't changed. He is a lovely man, very down to earth and has a great sense of humour. I enjoyed this immensely.
Thank you Nick. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for sharing + for watching the Electronic Cafe. MW
Thanks for the kind words Nick,and for watching the Electronic Cafe-Andy
Thank you for this amazing interview! Been a fan since 1983 and I had the honor to interview Paul last year for a radio show at the time and he was as awesome as Andy😊. The new album is great and I love it! Thanks again!
Our pleasure!. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for sharing and for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Bauhaus staircase is a brilliant album. Fantastic electronic 🎼. One of your best cd. Great interview . Thank you Andy .
Thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe-Andy
100%, album is fantastic. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Another great and inspiring interview. Andy seems like a fantastic guy, being a control freak or not. ;-) The new album sounds really good, after one playthrough. I have to dive more into it and get all the lyrical content. I hope they still have ideas and record more music in the future.
Thanks for your kind words and sharing your comments. Andy was fantastic to speak to and love the album. Thanks of course for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe-Andy
Well done excellent interview.....am is quality
Thank you, much appreciated. Yes indeed, Andy McCluskey was so awesome. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
thanks for the kind words and for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Another fantastic interview. I have been so lucky in getting tickets to see OMD and Walt Disco very soon in March. Late 70's - Early 80's really were the best of times in terms of music.
Thank you for your kind words - much appreciated. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Saw them in march at Manchester, they were brilliant, can’t say the same for Walt Disco though.
@@StorminBriski I thought Walt Disco were amazing :)
Wasn’t keen. Thought they were joy division from wish. But it would be boring if everyone liked the same stuff I guess.
A great interview. Lots of snippets I've not heard before from Andy, even though they've done a stack of interviews to promote Bauhaus. Thanks guys ❤
Thanks for the kind words Louise and for watching the Electronic Cafe - Andy
Thanks Louise. Glad you enjoyed. Thank you too for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Great job, guys!
Thanks so much!. Thank you for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Thanks so much!. Thank you for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
thank you sir and for watching the Electronic Cafe -`Andy
Oh yes, very much a legend. I saw OMD a few years back in Ipswich with my wife in Ipswich. I was amazed by Andy's energy on stage, it really was an awesome show. My wife had seen them 30yrs previously and was wowed all over again some 30yrs later. And here they are banging out great tunes again. Thank goodness for all these artists from the late 70's and early 80's still going, pumping out great tunes !! And thanks to @electroniccafemusic for giving us amazing interviews with amazing artists :)
Thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe-Andy
Oh wow!. Thank you for your great comments and for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Great interview guys. It's so good to see Andy McCluskey really relaxed & be given the time to enthuse about the new album. You get much more info & honesty here rather than what's limited in a short TV interview or in a magazine article. 'Bauhaus Staircase' sounds like it's gonna be quite a special OMD album. I love the way the band have embraced the sounds of Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Goldfrapp, Pet Shop Boys & many more influences to become the ultimate group celebrating Electronic music. OMD still totally have their own identifiable sound & they just keep getting better. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing and for your kind words, very much appreciated by us. Andy McCluskey was fantastic, great fun and we LOVE the new Bauhaus Staircase album. Thank you for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
So appreciate feedback like this- thank you and for watching the Electronic Cafe !-Andy
Thanks for that guys. When the band have gone through years of strife & put so much work into recording the new album I feel the least I can do is give some feedback of my own, rather than just saying 'Brilliant' or leaving a hundred emojies, which in my opinion is a bit lazy & more than a bit rude.
Anyway, keep up the good work guys & just a quick reminder......when are you gonna review Sparks 'No 1 song in heaven' album? The Maels are very open to chats like you do which would be fantastic especially after their success of the last couple of years. It was a ground breaking masterpiece in that they were the first rock group to go disco, let alone electronic disco. (Sorry, had to get my nag in again, couldn't help meself! lol).
' Oh, you've got a new idea? Is it better than these 24 ideas, 'cause then we've got to erase something.' :) A very charming interview, thanks to everyone. P.S. Yes, I too was one of those who thought Paul did the music and Andy added the lyrics. Now I know!
Thanks for watching the Electronic cafe-Andy
Thanks for your kind words + for watching Electronic Cafe. MW

Another great interview 👍 I'm starting to hear a catch phrase....I still have the program 🤭
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. Appreciated. MW
Insightful interview. I don't have a huge interest in OMD's more recent music but it's really good how they remain relevant and still have reasons to exist beyond any nostalgia thing.. Looking forward to seeing them live for the first time next year.
Thanks for sharing + for watching Electronic Cafe. Glad you enjoyed. MW
Thank you for watching the Electronic Cafe-Andy
As Andy said, Catherine Moan is great, and you should check her out. Great interview by the way, and loving the new album

'Victory Waltz' was a true epitaph for OMD
Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Great interview. I prefer the new album to Punishment of Luxury, so job done
Thank you. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
I still have my 7" single of Enola Gay, plus a few vinyl albums. I'm not a great lover of decades later reunions, as they are usually a vastly inferior offering, but this actually sounds pretty decent I am happily surprised to say.
Great comments + thanks for sharing. This (Bauhaus Staircase) is a great album, do check it out fully. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
thanks for watching the Electronic Cafe -Andy
Have already ordered latest CD in Ireland. Love OMD. Less of the bad language please Andy, other than that, you rock!
Thanks for watching the Electronic cafe-Andy
100%, album is fantastic. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Hi guys!...please could you activate the automatic-youtube -function subtitles for non english speakning persons ?thank you in advance! regards!
Done. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Wh what is that place where they found a video creators what is it called clearinghouse or something?
It was "a clearing house" he didn't mention the name. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
Love the new album. American here hoping Trump comes back, cost of living it gettig too high people in the US are starting to skip meal and work three jobs to make ends meet.
Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
I've tried to listen to this album several times and at the moment can't stand it, real shame as I do love OMD, have to agree with Andy's comment for Kraftwerk, the Tour De France album, I can only listen to Tour De France and Aero Dynamik, rest of the album is utter rubbish. I do like the shorter versions of their songs from the Catalogue
Thanks for sharing and importantly, for watching Electronic Cafe. MW
