The only comparrison I can conclude with Kajagoogoo is the similarity in Hair cuts of the lead singers :evil4: oh!! and Too Shy was a blatant rip off from Everything's Gone Green

You could probably group Xymox & Modern English into the same 'post-punk' category though. Certainly I can see a general stylistic similarity. The PSB & Kajawhatsit though shows up soemething I've pointed out before i.e. different people have wildly different ideas about what New Order are and what they represent. Some see them as a synth-pop band others, including me, see them as a post-punk band alongside PIL, Wire, Josef K, etc. I suppose it depends on where, when and in what context you first became aware of them.

Too Shy is a blatant rip off from EGG in much the same way as Take On Me rips off Confusion;)

New Order, much like Kajagoogoo, charted in the 80s with vocal-based tunes constructed around the 12-tone major and minor scales prevalent in Western music.
