'Metroland' was released on this day in 2013. The lead single from OMD's album 'English Electric', which represented the second studio album by the band since OMD's reformation following 2010's 'History of Modern'.

I'm feeling pretty chuffed that we've reached 100 issues of Electronic Sound. There's still a bit of life left in print magazines, then. Many thanks to everybody who has been with us on the journey so far. I'm setting my sights on 2098 and Issue 1,000 now…
