Liberator is the ninth album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1993. Co-founder Paul Humphreys, who had left the band four years prior, is credited as a co-writer on third single 'Everyday'. The band had enjoyed a commercial renaissance with the multi-million selling UK Top 3 releases The Best of OMD (1988) and Sugar Tax (1991), but were unable to continue this run of success with Liberator: the record peaked at No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart, essentially marking a return to the realm of middling UK popularity that the group had found themselves in by 1985. None of its three singles cracked the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, although lead single 'Stand Above Me', and follow-up 'Dream of Me' did make No. 21 and No. 24 respectively. International chart positions were similar or worse, and Liberator would be the penultimate album prior to OMD's disbandment in 1996, due to a lack of public interest.
