OMD had played with Joy Division at early concerts and the band’s melancholic tunes had a profound effect during the recording of Organisation. The lyrics in Statues are partially about Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Division who died in May 1980. This version featured on the B-Side of Souvenir. Motion And Heart was briefly considered as a possible second single and the band subsequently recorded a new version at Amazon Studios, Liverpool. The title actually comes from a number on a valve that features on the reverse of the sleeve for Kraftwerk’s album Radioactivity. VCLXI was the name of Andy and Paul’s early experimental partnership.
