designer and musician Brett Wickens, who co-founded the bands Spoons and Ceramic Hello, was affected by Organisations marriage of artwork and music. He identified the record sleeve as the standout from OMD's catalogue, and said of the musical component, "It was extremely moving. I used to listen to it driving in the dark a lot." Physicist and musician Brian Cox wrote in 2018, "I eventually persuaded my parents to buy Organisation, an album of gentle darkness beneath clouded skies, which I fell in love with aged 12 and still love today." In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music in April 2020, Britain's Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, was asked to select a song from history for airplay: he chose Organisations closing track, the near seven-minute "Stanlow". Track listing Original release US release (OMD) Organisation was not formally released in the US; instead Epic Records released a compilation in 1981.
