So here's the B-Sides. Once again, A mixed bag, but this time stretching out into the wilderness years. The intriguing thing about this one though, is that in common with all right thinking bands, they were still using the flipside of poptastic singles to stretch out a little bit. I'm afraid that the law of diminishing returns is still applicable here, however. Until the last track "The Angels Keep Turning The Wheels Of The Universe", which as far as I can remember came as a free single with "Junk Culture"? It's brilliant.
Otherwise, there's the wonky but charming cover of "Waiting For The Man", the alternative take of "Almost", The wonderful "4-Neu" and the title track "Navigation" which could have appeared on "Architecture And Morality".
Finally, as Frenchbloke pointed out to me yesterday, is there an OMD album on which "The Romance Of The Telescope" does not appear? Certainly not this one. And let's be grateful for that, at least.
