"Then You Turn Away" is a song by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and the third single released from their album Sugar Tax. It peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart in 1991. Its follow-up single, "Call My Name", peaked at the same position. It was not released as a 12".
Originally the music written by Andy McCluskey for the BBC TV series For the Greater Good was to be included as the B-side for "Then You Turn Away", but it became Sugar Tax. This song in turn was scheduled as the title track of the album, but was not finished at the time the album was released.
The CD singles contain the extra tracks "Area", "Vox Humana", and a remix of "Then You Turn Away", called Infinite Repeat Mix. "Vox Humana" uses a sample of a female Gregorian chant written by Hildegard of Bingen.
Third part of the Special Collectors Edition tri-pack released with Sailing on the Seven Seas.
Issued in a limited edition felt box with paper wrap which also contained a perfumed postcard.
