Is anyone else obsessed with these old ladytron videos? I am!

[IWannabeJew]

Any video where I can see Helen and Mira is fine by me.

im obsessed too!!!

Just noticed how badly the sun was in their eyes.

Personally, I dunno why this one gets played more than "The Way That I Found You".

[IWannabeJew]

Yeah, I got into New Order in '88.

[Cashane]

Apparently he knows enough... I'm from the 80ies and I would also definitely say that the most influential group for modern electronic music (except EBM maybe) was New Order, by far. There were a lot of innovative electronic bands, like Minimal Compact, Front 242 etc.. but N O is by far the most famous and most played in clubs, with some big hits, etc..). (And the influence of experimentating bands like Aphex Twin is absolutely nothing to be compared with the influence of New Order).

i don't think any of those bands have a whole lot to do with this particular sound. unlike those mentioned the sounds they created on 604 and light & magic were much more analogue-y and closer to the experimental sounds you heard by bands of the 60's and early 70's . and you know if you're going to praise pioneers you really need to take a look at joe meek,the united states of america and suicide. these bands and artists were already revolutionising synths before any of those mentioned.

I would have loved to see this....

[IWannabeJew]

The same could be said of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round". Like I said, if you're talking about the 80's, everybody was using synthesizers. If you're talking about the 70's, you're not really talking about a band that has *brought back* synthesizer.

If anything, New Order kept synthesizer going when bands began to look to other things.

Probably no way to win this debate. Too bad you weren't a teenager in the 80's. A really great variety of music during that decade.

But you're forgetting that if we are talking about the eighties, than my comment on New Order still stands. One just needs to note the Blue Monday success to see just how much of an influential source they really were. It's said that any dancefloor can be filled in seconds as soon as those semi-quavered bass drum is heard.
