The group was founded by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, and they formed the core of the outfit until 1989, when the group split. McCluskey then retained the name and continued to record and tour as OMD with a new line-up.
In late December, 2005, OMD's official website announced a 2006 reformation, for both live performances and a new album, with rehearsals beginning in summer, 2006. The tour began in 2007, featuring the classic line up of McCluskey, Humphreys, Holmes and Cooper. Spring, 2008 saw a further tour announced for October of that year.
OMD recently announced a new studio album called History of Modern, which will be released some time in 2010.
