Taratata
Taratata was a French TV show showcasing live and pre-recorded footage of current rock acts. Presented by Nagui since its début in 1993, the show was initially shown on France 2. The show often involved surprise and unlikely duets, as well as brief interviews with the artists. Taratata was cancelled in 2000, but returned in April 2005 on the public French network France 4 once a week on prime time, France 3, and late night once a month France 2 and Virgin Radio. Artists including Devendra Banhart, Katie Melua, and Ayo made their French TV debut on the show. The show's chief lighting technician, Jean-Philippe Bourdon, was awarded two Sept d'or in 1994 and 1995. The show featured unique duets and highlights new artists and uses different presenters for each episode. These aspects, and the general emphasis on original music, led the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel to identify Taratata as a uniquely creative show on French TV in April 2009. The show aired throughout Europe on TV5MONDE Europe on Saturday nights. The show is also franchised to Dubai Television in Arabic with an almost identical format to its French counterpart. On 31 May 2013, France Télévisions announced that the show was cancelled. Despite the announcement, the show will continue in a web only format and that a concert will be oragnized at Zénith de Paris on 10 October 2013. The last show was recorded on 13 June 2013 and was broadcast on 12 July 2013.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Live Architecture & Morality and More
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Live Architecture & Morality and More movie was released May 07, 2013 by the Eagle studio. Architecture & Morality, originally released in 1981, is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the band's career. It spawned an extensive European tour. For the early part of this tour, including this concert filmed in high definition at London's Hammersmith Apollo in May, the concert was split into 2 halves. The first part of the evening was a complete performance of the album, while the 2nd half was a greatest hits set covering the rest of the band's illustrious career.
Messages: OMD Greatest Hits
The complete collection of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's conceptual videos. It is the first time that all of the band's music videos have been released on DVD. "Joan of Arc" had no video filmed at the time, so a mimed performance on the UK music show Top of the Pops has been added to the DVD instead. "Hold You" was considered as the second single from Crush and a promo video was made, but the single was never released.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark: Crush - The Movie
From Japanese adverts to Mexican death festivals, from filming in Spain to murders in America, this film follows OMD through the recording and making of Crush, their sixth album. Crush - The Movie is more than just a collection of single promo videos, it combines interviews with the band and candid footage of them at work and play.
