Dazzle Ships is the fourth studio album by English synth-pop band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in 1983. The album is noted for its experimental sound, incorporating elements of musique concrète and various electronic music styles. It features a more abstract approach compared to the band's earlier work, reflecting the influence of the Cold War and the increasing presence of technology in everyday life. Despite its initial mixed reception, the album has since been recognized as a significant work in the synth-pop genre, influencing a number of artists and retaining a cult following.
