In 1982 Klein & M.B.O. release "Dirty Talk" [1] on Zanza Records. It was partly the inspiration for New Order's 1983 'Blue Monday'.
- According to Bernard Sumner, Blue Monday was influenced by four songs: the intro bass/drum arrangement came from Dirty Talk, by Klein & MBO; the second part bass/drum came from Sylvester's You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real); the verses (including synth riff under the vocals), from Our Love by Donna Summer; the long keyboard pad on the intro, from Kraftwerk's Radioactivity.[2] Blue Monday's choir sound was sampled from the Kraftwerk song Uranium, from the Radio-Activity album.
