History of Modern (Part I) is a 2011 EP by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released on 28 February 2011 by 100% in the UK and Bright Antenna in the US.[1] The EP was released as a digital download, CD and 10" record. Released after the 2010 LP History of Modern, it contains remixes as well as B-sides.[2]

Financial Times music critic Ludovic Hunter-Tilney called the title track "a storming dance-pop number with muscularly rippling synths and surging vocals: a song to rank with any in their back catalogue".[3]
