The band's second studio album, Organisation (a reference to the band which preceded Kraftwerk, [34] founded by Kraftwerk's original members Florian Schneider-Esleben and Ralf Hütter), followed later that year, recorded as a three-piece with Humphreys, McCluskey and Holmes. It was again produced by Howlett, and had a darker, moodier feel largely inspired by the passing of Joy Division lead vocalist and former Factory label-mate, Ian Curtis. [35] The album included the anti-war [36] [37] hit single " Enola Gay", named after the plane that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. [32] The song was intended to be included on the debut studio album, but was left out at the final selection. The tour for this album had a four-piece band line-up, with Martin Cooper recruited for keyboard duties and enlisted as an official group member. [12] The McCluskey/Humphreys/Cooper/Holmes unit came to be regarded as the band's classic line-up. [38] In early 1981, readers of Record Mirror voted OMD the fourth-best band and eighth-best live act of 1980; [39] NME and Sounds readers named the group the eighth and 10th best new act of the year, respectively. [40] In Smash Hits, they were voted both the fifth-best band of 1980 and the eighth-hottest new act for 1981.

The new single was generally well received and gained prime time airplay on both Radio 1 and Radio 2 immediately on its release. Writing in Smash Hits, Tom Hibert described the single as "pleasant" and ".. a lazy, swingy dance number that contains sharp horns, sparkling steel drums and no reference whatever (sic.) to genetic engineering."
