Ok - that is New Wave - but from the good side combining synthy and melodic sounds in my view - I LOVE New Order - think I played Blue Monday 987 times in my DJ life even during Techno sessions - could be integrated perfectly as of their sound. Maybe our music brits can share their view as well
and others.
New Order - legends
I consider them even more influential as Depeche Mode - considered rock band they pumped with Blue Monday which is to me one of the best ever songs ever! They are new wave to me combining many genres.
Their England football hymn
Even being a German (and you know what that means in foorball) I fell in love with their song for the English football team back in 1990 - simply love it - I would love we have similar entertaining sounds - teh end "Playing for England, we are playing / singing this song is a perfect arrangement!
"World In Motion" was released as a single in 1990 to celebrate England's appearance at the 1990 World Cup in Italy (Italia '90). The video features appearances by numerous English footballers.
