When the Official OMD Website originally launched, it incorporated a fan club subscription service under the Messages title. Part of that membership was a series of magazines issued at semi-regular intervals. Each issue of Messages consisted of a glossy publication featuring a full colour cover. They included articles and interviews as well as a wealth of special features exploring the rich musical legacy of OMD.
Originally issued in October 2004, the third issue of Messages was a special bumper 28-page issue featuring a special interview with Paul Humphreys, interviews with Andy, Paul, Mal and Martin discussing the reissue of debut album OMITD, an interview with Paul Collister, OMD promo releases, ‘Winston’ and a feature on bands influenced by OMD plus more stories, photos and Q+A’s!
