OMS is perhaps the most known cold-wave band fom my native region (my Berry darling...).
Born in 1983 in Bourges by Franck Lopez (now member of Collection d’Arnell-Andréa), his brother Patrick L. Robin and Catherine Marie.
OMS was seen as the french Dead Can Dance, mixing sounds of "seventeen seconds" Cure era, OMD/Ultravox synth-wave, medieval moods and french 70's folk, with an ironically manner and childish non-sense lyrics.
In 1995, the Brazilian independant label Museum Obscuro decided to release a compilation reflecting the ten first years of the band that has becomed « cult » in Sao Paulo gothic dancefloors. The success of this sampler called « Days of Creation » was so great that Museum Obscuro decided to issue a new album of OMS.
I prefer the first releases (1984-1985), but you're free to make your own opinion : days of creation
