Although McCluskey essentially retired the OMD name in 1996, shortly thereafter Humphreys began playing live shows as OMD with other musicians on an as-needed basis, but without McCluskey.

Then in late December 2005, OMD's official website announced a forthcoming reformation of the " classic " 1980's line-up ( Humpheys / McCluskey / Cooper / Holmes ), both for live performances and for a new studio album.

This reformed quartet began touring in 2007, and further successful sold-out tours took place in 2008 and 2009.

OMD's most recent studio album History of Modern was released on 20 September 2010.
