Sugar Tax is the eighth studio album by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released on 7 May 1991 by Virgin Records. It was the group's first studio album since 1986's The Pacific Age , and the first of three recorded without co-founder Paul Humphreys, who had departed in 1989. Featuring singer Andy McCluskey alongside a new backing band, Sugar Tax leans towards the then-prevalent dance-pop genre, with McCluskey's songwriting at times being influenced by the breakdown of his relationship with Humphreys.

Contents

Sugar Tax has provoked mixed responses from critics since its release, being described as both the equal of OMD's seminal Architecture & Morality (1981), and a "forgettable" entry in the group's catalogue. It nevertheless became one of the band's biggest commercial successes, peaking at number three on the UK Albums Chart and selling three million copies by 2007. The record spawned four singles, including the UK top-10 hits "Sailing on the Seven Seas" and "Pandora's Box".

Sugar Tax is the only OMD album on which Paul Humphreys does not receive a songwriting credit.

Background

In the aftermath of the band's 1989 split, Virgin Records gave the OMD moniker to singer Andy McCluskey, while departing members Paul Humphreys, Martin Cooper and Malcolm Holmes named their new ensemble The Listening Pool. [1] [2]

McCluskey dealt with anxiety about continuing as OMD, stating, "My name doesn't appear anywhere on the album. I was trying to hide behind the corporate identity of OMD because I was terrified that I was on my own because all I'd ever known was working with Paul and then Paul, Malcolm and Martin." His fears were assuaged somewhat by collaborating with new group members Nigel Ipinson and Phil Coxon. [1] Stuart Kershaw, who would join the band as an instrumentalist in later years, co-wrote five tracks. [3]

Recording took place at various studios in Liverpool and London. [4] Andy Richards was enlisted as a producer but McCluskey elected to self-produce much of the record with assistance from Coxon and Jeremy Allom in engineering roles. The album is characterised by its extensive use of the Korg M1 workstation. [5]

"Was It Something I Said" and "All That Glitters" were directly inspired by OMD's lineup split in 1989, [6] [7] while "Big Town" deals with coming of age in the music industry. [8] "Pandora's Box" was inspired by silent movie actress Louise Brooks, and shares its title with the film Pandora's Box (1929), which stars Brooks in the lead role. "Neon Lights" is a cover of a Kraftwerk song, originally featured on The Man-Machine (1978). "Apollo XI" uses samples from Apollo space missions; a club mix was pressed on white label 12". "Walk Tall" utilises a choral sample from "Miserere" by Gregorio Allegri, and was originally titled "Coming to See You". [5]

The record title Sugar Tax refers to the notion of everything sweet having a price, including relationships. The actual "Sugar Tax" track was not completed in time for the album's release, and was instead included as a B-side to "Then You Turn Away". [5] [9] The artwork was designed by Area with photography by Trevor Key, and features an oil sculpture. [5]

Sugar Tax met with mixed reviews. [20] Richard Riccio of the St. Petersburg Times wrote, "Sugar Tax is classic OMD, and after a four-year absence marks a triumphant return... McCluskey has managed to distill all the best qualities of a 12-year career into a highly listenable album." [18] In Factsheet Five , Bill Carbonelli called the record "British pop at its finest. Loaded down with well-rounded synths and expressive vocals." [21] Paul Davies of Q referred to "an unflappable album of quality songs which re-establishes OMD's credentials as masters of synthesized melancholia and dreamy pop." [15] RPM selected Sugar Tax as their "album pick" for the week of 15 June; [22] on 12 July, CMJ reporters named it one of the 10 best recent albums. [23]

Other writers were less enthusiastic. NME 's Andrew Collins portrayed Sugar Tax as a "deft exercise in short-range synthesiser pop that, for the most part, flutters along on a criminally simplistic vibe with all but a low-rent beatbox and a well-depressed instant choir button to perk it up." [20] Evelyn Erskine of the Ottawa Citizen stated, "Occasionally OMD manages to find the hypnotic pulse that once made the band tick. But it never really traces it to the dark soul that once set it apart." [24] Vox journalist Steve Malins praised the record's candour and "smooth production", but felt its content "lacks any lasting impact". [20] James Muretich of the Calgary Herald dismissed the album as "forgettable... sugary, taxing pop that goes poof in the night". [25]

The Morning Call 's Len Righi later argued that Sugar Tax had been "underappreciated", and applauded McCluskey's "superb job" on the record. [26] Mark Lindores of Classic Pop wrote, "McCluskey's ear for killer melodies was as sharp as ever... Sugar Tax was the strongest OMD album in years and houses its fair share of career highlights." [27] In Q, Debbi Voller saw the record as a "return to form" that "matched the achievement" of 1981's Architecture & Morality (often regarded as OMD's seminal work). [28] [29] Stephen Thomas Erlewine, editor of the All Music Guide to Electronica (2001), was less impressed, stating that "Sugar Tax, while thoroughly competent, is nothing more than predictably refined and pleasant dance-pop." [10]

Sugar Tax became one of OMD's most popular albums, achieving sales of three million copies by 2007. [30] In 2021, the Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess staged a Twitter listening party of the record, stating that he had forgotten "quite how brilliant" it is. [31] Despite being dismissive of other OMD works, McCluskey professed to be "really pleased with Sugar Tax." [32]
