When RememberTheEighties.com interviewed OMD's Andy McCluskey recently (you can read the interview here) he mentioned that the band had completed work on a number of mash-up mixes featuring classic OMD material combined with all sorts of other tracks that were due to appear on the new 'Messages' compilation.

He also said that due to the subsequent 'publishing and political nightmare' of clearing all the tracks for release, the chance of the tracks ever seeing the light of day was slim and instead he was planning to stream the various tracks online for fans to hear.

In a moment of massive generosity Andy offered to give this website a track to stream exclusively and here it is; a mash-up - although he did add that 'it’s not strictly speaking a mash-up because the OMD parts are actually new recordings that I put onto the Grace Jones track' - of OMD vs Grace Jones entitled 'Talking Loud And Grace'. Enjoy.
