Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (often abbreviated to OMD or O.M.D. ) are a British New Wave/synthpop group whose founding members are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England. OMD were originally assimilated in the greater New Wave batch of synthesizer-based acts of the late 1970s/early 1980s.

Adding sidemen Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper by the end of 1980, this quartet (with occasional line-up fluctuations) was the live concert line-up until 1989, when Humphreys, Cooper and Holmes all left OMD to found The Listening Pool.

Gonzalez and Fromageau parted ways shortly after touring for their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, and now Gonzalez records mainly on his own, often with the help of his brother Yann Gonzalez, vocalist/keyboardist Morgan Kibby, and drummer Loïc Maurin !

He wrote and produced the song "Lay Me Down" with Cyndi Lauper for her 2008 album Bring Ya to the Brink. An instrumental version of the song appears on Kleerup's album under the title "Thank You for Nothing". The title was believed to be inspired by Kleerup's anger with Cyndi Lauper for not allowing her version to appear on his album, but this was later confirmed as a false rumor in an interview.Turns out the song was originally made before he gave it to Cyndi Lauper, and he decided to use the original version on his album instead.

His song, "Until we Bleed" featuring Lykke Li, was featured in the British television show, Misfits.
