This 80's songs sounds are fresh and dynamic as ever reproduced on the Pleiades 2N3053 - Philips AD5046N reproduction system.
OMD very few months after their school mates critisised badly their abilities were being heard through Enola Gay and Electricity in many European countries.
Pedal bass is used in a generalized sense. It is the melody riff Fa Re Fa Mi Fa Re Fa Mi Fa ... which is kept unchanged, constant while bass and harmony is changing. So together with the pedal bass (melody) all sorts of interesting intervals or code from bass to melody is being created. Listen also to how nice a double tracking is done to this riff, one on the left channel,the other to the right channel.
Also great unisons can be heard as apparently the same note in a melody is being played by many synths simultaneously.
Very interesting documentaries of OMD and the making of these songs can be found on YouTube.
For example at 53:00 we can hear many synths playing the same notes (unisons) of Enola Gay.
