PROMISE taken from the album ORGANISATION, Sorry about the video but I could'nt find one for it.Small clips inserted of omd concert june 2007 southend. (It was a good night)
Yeah, thanks, you hit the nail on the head. Some weird creatures running through some strange land if I remember correctly. Probably an old chzech kids movie or something, but absolutely caught the theme of the song pefectly. I also remember it was followed by Colin Newman's "B" in the same programme, which was also amazing.
Early OMD was the best!!! Where have I heard a similar bassline to the one in this track? Could it perhaps be a re-arrangement of Ryan Paris track La Dolce Vita or did he copy OMD?
@TechnoEstate ehh? if you think this sounds like fade to grey then you must think all 80s electro bands sound the same, and then i just feel plain sorry for you
My all-time favourite OMD album track. I also like The Boy From The Chemist Is Here to See You from the brilliant Universal album. Thanks for posting Promise anyway.

Brilliant song so pleased others are discovering how good OMD are and that there are more gems in their back catalogue if you dig......enjoy the ride
Oh my God... I was 15 then in 1980 ... 35 years ago!.
Wooow! What a song! .I Love it,I Love the OMD from their early four albums...especially ORGANISATION, Statues, Yeaaaah!
Some of the best sounds- quasi off key but converging into tune= genius. I'll never get tired of the intro.
holy crap i've been transported back to college years and secret, desperate loves. no waaaay, no waaaaay....
Probably the best OMD song...Amazing!!
infectious bass riffs galore. love it!
thanks for sharing!

Extraordinary track! It definitely should have been released as a 7".
One of my all time favourite omd tracks, I spent many a dark winters evening listening to this on my record player!
What a song!!!!
Paul (I take it that's him singing) sounds slightly like Gary Numan ere...great.x
Great memories :)
amazing intro!
Did you ever find the O.g.wt version of this track?
Anyone have the Old Grey Whistle Test version of this?

Strangely, I always preferred Paul's vocals. Fantastic track
@comfy1 way to have good taste....but lets not forget the cure
i thought this song was one of the best ones on organisation along with second thought
is there anything OMD cant do well.
ja tam wole cream polo i chuj- this is in polish
la plus belle voix de mon existence : celle de Paul Humphreys !!!! et OMD
@TechnoEstate they both sound like 80s electro bands because they ARE 80s electro bands.
@TechnoEstate ehh? if you think this sounds like fade to grey then you must think all 80s electro bands sound the same, and then i just feel plain sorry for you
