They’re best known in the US for their 1986 song If You Leave, recorded for the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. As well as Andy’s father and sister both working there, the breathtaking view of the refinery lit up at night was a welcome sight to the band when coming home from tours. One of the earliest and most successful UK synth-pop acts, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark have scored seven Top 10 singles in their home country. Stanlow is actually the name of an oil refinery located on the Wirral peninsula at Ellesmere Port. Promise marked Paul Humphreys’ debut as lead vocalist on a song he had also written himself. OMD’s version actually started out as a separate song but then Andy began singing the lyrics to The More I See You over the top and decided that they complemented each other. The More I See You is a cover version of a song originally sung by Dick Hayes in the 1945 film Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshoe but was also a 60’s hit for Chris Montez. The Misunderstanding was an early song that dated back to OMD’s former incarnation as The Id. 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. Enola Gay was the only single released from the album.
