bands that draw their inspiration from New Order

I highly recommend that people check out Vertigo and Algorhythm.

Another band I'd recommend are Gerling.

Just like New Order, they easily float between guitar and electronic based music.

I don't get them either.Maybe it's me.A lot of folk on my DM site love them,and they generally like good stuff. A bit too cheesy for me,a bit like PSB(cheesy).I used to like the first Electronic lp,but I find Neil Tenant grating on my nerves as I have got older.

I'm a massive fan of the undies - one of the greatest bands EVER.

Is this the same Underground Lovers that supported NO at the Metro? Greatest band ever, or massively pretentious wannabe shoegaze wankers who take themselves far too seriously?

FFS....Delphic anyone!!!!

One of the best bands around at the moment!!!

Burn. Since that's pretty much why I logged in here, haha! Honesty goes a long way I guess.

Cutting it short, I'm an independent songwriter/recording dude from New Zealand, with a massive '80s influence, particularly New Order, Ultravox and Depeche Mode.

I've just released a new album called 'Hide The Decline', which is available from http://radioovermoscow.com.

And to prove I'm not some random spammer about the money, is that I release my music for free. If you want to pay, there's the option to do that - of course - but if you're skint, like me, no worries. It's all good :)

If this kind of thing is frowned upon in your forum, I apologise. Kick me out, I guess.

A side note - I once got almost the exact Peter Hook sound from my crappy bass set up - does any one know exactly what he does to get *that* sound?

Yes! I heard their album last week, and there was one particular part where this choppy guitar part came in, sounded just like Bernard's playing. The synths made me raise an eyebrow, but that guitar part made me LOL.

Hot Chip and The XX - with two of the best albums from the past couple of years as well.

The Beloved.

However, they lean much more to the "draw inspiration from" side than the "sound like" side of the scale.

I think people who think the similarity is by no means not having heard a lot of Queen music. I suggest you go out and listen to music queen, but more importantly, keep buying and playing music, Muse, the music scene with live music at its best, and Muse will give us this heeps!

How are (The) Beloved not mentioned? :\ohwell:

ive been listening to Happiness lately and it reminds me of electronic album (which came out a year later (so is that art imitating art)).

anyway, it still sounds fresh and Time After Time, The Sun Rising, I Found You, Wake Up Soon are stonking tunes. Actually the whole album is sublime.

Its one of the best albums in my collection.

Can i chip in 'The Beloved' if no one else already has?

Forever Dancing by the Beloved is almost like their Shellshock.

I see a stronger influence from Technique (Best NO album ever) (although there's a clear 1 from Electronic). I see Happiness as the recognition of the new creative ways that Technique began.

(The) Beloved's 1987 album Where is it? (& their 1:st look) shows a very strong NO influence, specially from Power, Lies & Corruption & Low-Life.

Another NO-influenced band are Aussy 1:s Real Life, specially in their 1990 album Lifetime.

Do you mean Real Life? I don't hear it.

Boxcar were an Aussie band that were certainly inspired by New Order. Inspired to rip them off unashamedly.
