Musically, Movement is a transitional album. References to Ian Curtis appear on the songs “I.C.B.” (rumoured to be an acronym for ‘Ian Curtis Buried’) and “The Him”. The expansion of the sonic palette heard on Closer is also present on this album with synths on all but the opening track and electronic percussion (especially on “Truth”). Hook’s bass takes on a melodic role while Gilbert provides the low end on the song “Chosen Time”.
