Universal is a studio album by the U.K. Subs released in 2002 on Captain Oi! Records.
All songs written by Charlie Harper, except where noted.
Universal is the tenth album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1996. It features songwriting contributions from co-founder Paul Humphreys, who departed the band in 1989, and Karl Bartos (formerly of Kraftwerk). The album spawned the band's first Top 20 hit in the UK for over five years with the track "Walking on the Milky Way". However, follow-up single "Universal" and the album itself performed poorly and this lack of success prompted singer Andy McCluskey to disband the group. It would remain their final album for over a decade until the band's reunion.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine in AllMusic remarked: "Universal is a rote collection of synth-pop and dance-pop from OMD, demonstrating only a fraction of the sophisticated craft that made its predecessor Liberator enjoyable, and none of the adventurous spirit of their '80s records."
All songs written and composed by Andy McCluskey, except where noted.
Universal was an Australian-based boy band, from the 1990s. They released three singles on London Records, with "Rock Me Good" and "Make It With You" both entering the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. When the third single failed to make in impact, the band dissolved.
However, they reformed in 2005 in their hometown of Sydney, under the name 'The Brothership', and made it into the group final of the first ever The X-Factor finals, where they were mentored by Mark Holden. Holden won with another of his mentored groups called Random

Underneath the world built by reason
Lay the foundations of a different
Perception
Putting light on a brand new horizon
Remodeling our own
Life's conception
Opening views of another dimension
Revealing a home of
Outstanding proportions
Radiating from one's own reflection
Energy's
Nucleus height density concentration
Feeling incomplete before the meeting
While the rest of me wants to gather
Sociability, sensibility
Clear out charm of world illusions
Philanthropy to felicity, so why can't we live with one another
Dissolved,
Diluted, restored and regrouped
Waiting for crystallization
Reunion of
Different principles
Leading to cohesion and different conclusions
Fundamental
And perennial
The law of movement intersideral
One small
Step, one giant step,
Independent and connected
Thought-
Omnipotence giving the access
To your own soul, to other galaxies
At
Your own depth, reality
Subject to hazard
Susceptibility
Emotionally, physically
Bound and tied
Understanding before standing
Always digging your views a
Little deeper
Vision and dream accorded with one another
Giving an answer to all you wonder
Sun on your soul is significant to your
Own environment
See through the night
With an open mind
Catch up whit the light, your way you'll find
Feeling
Incomplete before the meeting
While the rest of me wants to gather
Sociability, sensibility
Clear out charm of world illusions
Philanthropy
To felicity, so why can't we live with one another
Dissolved, diluted,
Restored and regrouped
Waiting for crystallization
Reunion of different
Principles leading to cohesion and different conclusions
