ultra violence and a clockwork orange

is it just me, or has anybody else who has seen a clockwork orange ever thought that maybe Sumner was inpsired when he was working on power corruption and lies? Because Alex references "ultraviolence" quite a few times throughout the movie.

actually i just saw this under the uncut review of power corruption and lies, so i guess this kinda answers my question

"POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES (1983) Then there was light. Featured alternative "Blue Monday" in "586", the trad-NO sound of "Leave Me Alone" (formerly "Only The Lonely"), the atonal "Ultraviolence" (a nod to/\ Clockwork Orange), the heavily-vocodered "Ecstasy" and the -no other word -jaunty "The Village". The studio name for track one. side two - "Your Silent Face" - was "KW1". ie, "the Kraftwerk One", a homage to the Germans whom Sumner believed epitomised everything he wanted pop to be: "rhythmic, abstract, aesthetic, arty, fucked-up and with a sense of humour." The lyric bore this out: "You Ve caught me at a bad time/ So why don't you piss off?"

If I remember correctly, Barney mentioned during an interview that snippets from videos like A Clockwork Orange, 2001 & Caligula were used for the "vocals" on "Murder" which was actually recorded during the PCL sessions but shelved until 1984 when it came out thru FacBenelux. Therefore, that may have influenced the name-change from "Who Killed My Father"(UV's original live working title) to "Ultraviolence"

I think Bernard introduced it as Ultraviolence once quite early on, will have a dig out to see if I can find where.
