What else sounds like this? Not just synth-pop but emotional post-punk pop. Basically the age of consent sound. I wish new order stuck more with that instead of getting way dancier.

fuck your shitty flower NU male garbage go listen to some alpha music you cuck
>>64275243
Remain In Light by Talking Heads is a bit stylistically different but it is very emotional new-wave.

Would I be expelled for playing this on college radio?
>>64275721
Possibly.
If you want to go out in style, play it. At least it'll be a groovy song.

Why can't I find anything about this band?
>>64275836
They sadly never released anything else...that has surfaced online.
They allegedly produced one demo. If anyone finds it and shares it, they'll be crowned as heroes.
The band has a long history, though. They formed out of the ashes of the live-only bands Grey Wolves and Visual Displays, playing a Nationalist Post-Punk/Minimal Synth hybrid. The band had several women, but turnover was quick, leaving only Steve X, who did most of the instruments heard.
>>64275641
no I mean like they have catchy pop young energy like age of consent, you win´t find that in pornography or juju
>>64275243
Cold Cave perhaps?

Wow, that's a bummer, makes for an amazing story though.
How did you find out about them?
>>64275641
i love the cure but for some reason cant really get into the cocteau twins. Too dated sounding for me maybe. Juju is pretty good but i wasnt too into the other albums.
>>64275958
I've always been a fan of far-right music, but a pal of mine brought this to my attention and it's since become a favorite of mine. Wish more bands played in this style; Above the Ruins comes quite close, though.
Lyrics for the song "The March" appeared in an old skinhead zine, dedicated "to our superb armed forces who fought in the Falklands":
Don’t you feel so proud
To be one of the crowd
When they walk by
With their heads held high?
Each man would give his life
For his child and wife
And for his whole country
Which includes you and me
And they walk by
With their heads held high
I agree OP..Age of Consent, Ceremony and Leave Me Alone are some of the only New Order I like, not really into the dancy stuff..
>>64276060
Dude..."Movement".
"Movement" is their magnum opus.
>>64276060
THIS SO MUCH!!!
exactly these are the songs that I love the most, why could they just make a full album in this style?
>>64276042
As a hispanic, I always liked the spirit that the skinheads had but never felt confortable (for obvious reasons).
However, when bands pull off lyrics like this, it truly becomes something special.
Listening to this now
Why does this sound like a bunch of Grimes instrumentals with a British guy singing over it???
>>64275243
have you tried listening to joy division
>>64276122
You will love Above the Ruins.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkbdjhhWYEw
Taking cues from Julius Evola's tome "Men Among the Ruins," Above The Ruins enjoyed a brief existence promoted by the British National Party of which Wakeford had become a member. Apart from his presence, the line-up of the band has never been revealed due to the band's open political deployment. Rumors proliferated, but none of them were ever confirmed.
The record was first circulating on tape as a demo in 1984, but was then reprinted on vinyl in 1986, with "Storm Clouds Over Europe" missing and now presumably lost. No one has ever found and released the tape online. Considering its short length, you'd be forgiven if you thought of this as an EP or mini-LP.
Above the Ruin's music is within the vein of early Death in June, but the approach is much more straightforward, less clumsy and more akin to darkwave not unlike Joy Division, Warsaw or Killing Joke. Despite the production being very rough shod (keep in mind this was originally recorded as a demo) and Wakeford's clumsy performance (especially those nearly atonal vocals on "Under Western Skies"), the band manages to sound professional. The "kicking" songs like Waiting, the title-track and Progress are quite enjoyable even if a pinch awkward.
>>64276186
yeah i love UP but im not super into closer. Basically anything that sounds like that sweet spot of the more pop joy division or the more post-punk new order is what im looking for
>>64276122
>>64276207
Choice lyrics come from the song "Roses", based on two poems written by Paul Comben who published a small collection of Nationalist poetry called "1957, Before the Storm". Little is known about Comben, who disappeared after the '80s, but his work strongly influenced Above the Ruins:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqMvcKv1t7g
When young soldiers march past roses
Roses bleed young blood
And red drops from the rose bud
To kiss a soldier's head
Red drops of the rose blood
Crimson petals of the dead
In the final living seconds
An atmosphere of grief
At the morning of your ending
Gives way to timeless sleep
You may think of times are wilting
As you struggle for your breath
But the only kiss that answers
Is the frozen kiss of death
My mother likes to think that I died quickly
My father likes to think that I died well
The telegram had lied but quite discretely
Since I ended up as mincemeat and a smell
For the moment that my mother has her comfort
My father has the strength of his beliefs
Until, that is, they come and all is over
To the crosses that have no one underneath
>>64276225
This has no political lyrics nor philisophical input, but it is note worthy new-wave/minimal synth.

THE PAINS
OF
BEING
PURE
AT
HEART
>>64275958
From Southampton, the Final Sound originally formed in January 1983 out of the ashes of punk band the Grey Wolves. The band started life with a line-up of Joanne Keal on vocals, James Cross on bass and Steve X on guitar, backing tapes and keyboards. In March 1983, Steve Pearson joined as drummer. Like James and Steve X, he too had played in the Grey Wolves. December 1983 saw Tony Mitchell join the band as keyboard player. He had already played in an all-electronic band called Visual Displays. Over the next two years, the Final Sound suffered a number of line-up changes, too many to mention, leaving just Steve X and Tony Mitchell in the band, both of whom were dedicated nationalists.
Interviewed by magazine New Dawn, Steve X and Tony Mitchell of the Final Sound had this to say: ‘Ulster — Steve is a staunch Loyalist, and we share the NF’s views on the scum called the IRA. The Tories talk a lot. But when they’re in power, as always, they do nothing. Multi-racialism — recent happenings have proved that people must wake up and realise that we are sitting on a timebomb. Multi-racialism may look glossy on Top of the Pops, but on the backstreets it’s a different story. Nationalism — we would describe ourselves as totally anti-Communist and anti-Socialist as well as being anti-big business. We are Nationalists.’
Despite their various ups and downs, they had stayed true to their nationalist beliefs. When asked about the music business, the Final Sound noted: The Music biz is a closed shop. Nowadays, it is impossible to get anywhere without being Socialist and into Live Aid. From Simon Bates of Radio 1 to the so-called ‘anti-establishment’ Paul Weller, the whole Biz is trying to get a monopoly on controlling the views of Britain’s youth. They are trying to warp minds into thinking that their views are the only ones. This is why White Noise is such a great thing. It challenges the monster that the Music Business has become.
>>64276357
that seems to be more shoegazy tho
>>64276347
Neat song. I'm more into Metal from the Hispanosphere, but this is cool.
My absolute favorite from Above the Ruins is "Progress" since it's such a harrowing indictment of Communism.
Again based on a poem by Paul Comben.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s07bbmlKplny
All the same height and all the same weight
All the same voice and much the same shape
Pressed to a pattern and shoved into a line
Bled by the rich and led by the blind
Progress, progress, there's progress
Progress, progress, there's progress
Such is the joining of people to state
The state is the father, the mother and mate
It knows how you think, it says what you need
With total conviction it prints what you read
Progress, progress, there's progress
Progress, progress, there's progress
Mongrelise, centralise, kept to your place
All the same colour and all the same race
Freedom is freedom from dissident views
Eyes full of terror and authorised news
Progress, progress, there's progress
Progress, progress, there's progress
It's best to be humble and do as you're told
To speak as you're taught and die when you're old
For such is the meaning of Marx and his words
Wine for the reds and chains for the herd
And death to the swine who are killed good and red
And death to the swine who are killed good and red
Progress, progress, there's progress
Progress, progress, there's progress
Progress, progress, there's progress
Progress, progress, there's progress
And you get a life and we go to hell
And this is the way, welcome to hell
At one time in my life I possessed the original vinyl 33 1/2 single of Blue Monday in the floppy disc sleeve.
Hey, with this many people, we should start a new-wave/post-punk/etc thread.

I'll be nodding off to bed, but before I go, enjoy more from Above the Ruins:

I hear your liberal bleating
It's time for you to pay
You sheep won't last forever
You'll meet the wolves some day
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Above your world of ruins
Comes a new kind of man
Spits out your Coca-Cola
And your five-year plan
I'm sick of your words
The politics of slaves
Our spirits are singing
Above your decay
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
The ringing of the bells
Drowns out the ringing phone
The wolf pack aren't happy
They're on the march back home
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon
Hear the song of the wolf
As he sings to the moon

The old Gods are calling
From the hills across the sea
A hundred flags are waving
On a northern breeze
Two tyrannies stand naked
'neath the setting sun
A hundred flags are waiting
For justice to be done
A hundred flags, a hundred drums
Takes us from winter to our spring
A hundred children singing
This time, we win
A hundred flags
A hundred flags
A hundred flags
A hundred flags
The old Gods are calling
From the hills across the sea
A hundred flags are waving
On a northern breeze
Two tyrannies stand naked
'neath the setting sun
A hundred flags are waiting
For justice to be done
A hundred flags, a hundred drums
Takes us from winter to our spring
A hundred children singing
This time, we win
A hundred flags
A hundred flags
A hundred flags
A hundred flags

Thanks man!

The bell echoes across the field
The priest calls his sheep to kneel
The plough edge cuts, hardened through toil
Calls of you to sing of blood and soil
Come, my children
Sing your song
All the Gods are dead,
'cept those who make us strong
Come, my children
Sing your song
All the Gods are dead,
'cept those who make us strong
Long it's slumbered, but never dead
Deep in the woods, it raises its head
It flexes its wings, the sunlight bleeds
Risen in the west, to set us free
Come, my children
Sing your song
All the Gods are dead,
'cept those who make us strong
Come, my children
Sing your song
All the Gods are dead,
'cept those who make us strong

Under western skies
We laugh and fly
Under western skies
We live and die
And a north wind blows
And a north wind blows
And a north wind blows
And a north wind
Under western skies
We live and learn
Under western skies
Saw Europe burn
And a north wind blows
And a north wind blows
And a north wind blows
And a north wind
Western skies
Under western skies
We live and learn
Under western skies
Saw Europe turn
And a north wind blows
And a north wind blows
And a north wind blows
And a north wind
Western skies
Night, folks.
I'll be...waiting.

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
When the earth shakes
And the dead awake
To sing us their songs
And we hear the march of fate
And footsteps of the strong
And we hear the call
Carried on a wing
Arise arise arise
A once and future king
Waiting for someone
Waiting for someone to call
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Broken friendships
Can cut like broken glass
Better to keep one eye
On the hourglass
I hear of a visit
From men across the sea
Who settle scores by the sword
Just like they used to be
Waiting for someone
Waiting for someone to call
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
The world is ruled by little men
Too blind, too scared to see
The glory that once was
And yet again could be
The world is sad and cold
The gold has made us poor
But through the cackling gloom
It looks she's getting more the sure
But through the cackling gloom
It looks she's getting more the sure
Waiting for someone
Waiting for someone to call

For you
The Human Eyes is a NC band that has a very similar sound:

>>64275243
Hey OP, check this shit out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1hrznPdsjk
This EP nails the upbeat but melancholic vibe that New Order has going on that album.
I highly recommend From the Lions Mouth as well, although that's closer to Joy Division than New Order. Still incredibly passionate and emotional, albeit somewhat bleak.
