Anyone notice how Getting Away With It recalls Thieves Like Us? How the chorus of Round & Round is a cousin to BLT? Aside from the EGG-586-Ultraviolence-Blue Monday comparisons, can we compile a list of those songs most bearing a striking resemblance to one another?

Monaco's "Under The Stars" is "Weirdo" with different lyrics.

Mr Disco pinches the synth bassline from State of the Nation.

Way of Life is a peculiar Age of Consent/LWTUA hybrid.

As It Is When It Was is a hybrid of several earlier basslines.

Crystal's guitar riff is rather close to Paradise's

Krafty seemed rather familiar on first listen, it even shares a bass riff with Sirens Call!

I think Hurt is 586's cousin.

Older cousin. Hurt was born 8 months before 586.

This Time of Night sounds an awful lot like Confusion.

I think your CD player needs a bit of a clean!

Dracula's Castle sounds like something off Technique.

Think Guilty Partner or Loveless with a bit of piano chucked in.

The bass and guitar before the 'Without you...'

As a lot of New Order songs are in the same key and Barney sings in same key theres inevitably going be a lot of songs sounding similar.

I cant hear the Getting Away with It and Thieves like us similarity but I agree about Round and Round and BLT chorus, Confusion and This Time Of Night choruses.

My most obvious one would be Regret being an update of Ceremony. Also, the synth from Too Late is very samey to the riff used during the intro to 5-8-6.

I'd actually say Chosen Time/EGG/586/Ultraviolence/Blue Monday.

yeah, but chosen time doesn't use a sequencer.
