Drummer Stephen Morris told Rolling Stone once that Movement “owed more to Joy Division than to New Order.” He also recalled that when they produced Power, Corruption and Lies themselves, they had a lot to figure out, including a crop of new, state-of-the-art synthesizers and sequencers. “We got the machines two weeks before we went into the studio, and we didn’t really know how to work them,” he said, adding that “Blue Monday” was the sound of them figuring it out. They ended up making the album, whose name came from a sequence of words they’d read on the back of an Orwell book, in just six weeks.
