A short note:
What do you do when your brother is cheating on you? You forgive and life goes on.
What do you when your friend is cheating on you? You forgive and life goes on.
What do you do when your band is cheating on you? You never forgive and never forget.
Life goes on without them.

Dirk Polak left Mecano in 2013 to go on with a new project Mecano Un-Ltd.
Tejo Bolten remains the only original member of Mecano created in the 80s.

So basically Mecano Un-Ltd. is a spin-off, not a variation.
