Movement is New Order's first album . It was released on November 13, 1981 .

History of origin

In terms of style, Movement still relates strongly to the works of the previous band New Orders, Joy Division . After their singer Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980 , guitarist Bernard Sumner took over (and bassist Peter Hook for two pieces, namely "Dreams Never End" and "Doubts Even Here" ). The songs "ICB" - probably short for "Ian Curtis Buried" (Ian Curtis was buried) and "The Him" ​​are to be understood as references to the late singer. In contrast to later releases by New Order, the album is characterized by a clearly gloomy mood and a rather sparse electronic instrumentation. None of the songs was released as a single.

For 2019, an "ultimate reissue" of their New Order debut album has been announced. Many of the studio sessions will be published on it.

Cover

The cover was inspired by a poster by the Italian futurist Fortunato Depero .
