After 'The Listening Pool' had 'gone for good' Paul Humphreys continued making music and began collaborating with former 'Propaganda' singer Claudia Brucken. As part of this collaboration the duo went to North America in 2000 and performed a series of gigs in different venues under the banner of 'OMD Revisited'. The set list included Propaganda tracks, their own compositions but mainly OMD songs.
The highlight of the tour was to headline a festival entitled 'Synthstock 2000' with 'Berlin', 'Anything Box', 'Real Life' and 'Cosmic Moscow' performing too. Paul employed American musicians to make up his band and, overall, the tour was a success. This page offers viewers a flavour of that time in the States.
In addition to all the information presented here we highly recommend that you take the time to visit the 'Paul Humphreys Tour' Page at Pat's World Of OMD.
Pat was able to attend three of Paul's USA concerts and spent some time backstage with the band. Pat's page features interviews with Paul, as well as Andy McCluskey and includes a considerable number of fantastic photos taken both on and off stage as well as reviews of the performances.
