Hi Lanartur!

Gotta give a shoutout to fellow Furs fans. Have you checked out Book of Days or World Outside by the Beautiful Chaos? I feel those last two albums are the hidden gems of the Furs library, the latter I put on par with Talk, Talk, Talk. Book of Days takes a few cues from The Cure lyrically and stylistically and strips down the sound quite a bit from previous releases (not to mention seeing the return of Vince Ely) while World Outside sees The Furs as a sixpiece one last time with the addition of guitarist Knox Chandler and several talented multi-instrumentalists. This album is very airy, brimming over with strings, studio samples, delirious synths, and some of Richard Butler's moodiest, most reflective and poetic lyrics period. The very talented guitarists and percussion section keep it from totally drifting into the ether though and in fact I find that the various layers of sound actually work to condense The Furs core sound perhaps the best of any of their releases. In my opinion, In My Head and Until She Comes from World Outside are two of the very best songs The Furs ever wrote.

Speaking of airy, I'd also advise you check out Treasure and Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins. These two albums are considered to be their best, and with good reason. These two albums are simply phenomenal: Elizabeth Fraser's vocals are incredible by saying everything and nothing at the same time. The instrumentation explodes with atmosphere, especially on Heaven..., justifiably putting them both as some of the most important and influential Dream Pop albums.

Thanks, no I have not listened to the later Furs work yet, but I am of the mind to see in their earlier 80s work atleast that the first album is the best and they seem to go down from there. It might be that I appreciate the rawness of that album, but it seems they become more streamlined from that album so by the time it gets to mirror moves it is very by the numbers. On your recommendation I will surely check those out.

I do like Cocteau twins and am in the process of making my way through their catalogue, thanks for the recommendation, a good one for me.

I would Recommend And Also the trees - Virus meadow or Retrospective 1983 - 1886

Lanartur

On the sole basis of the many artists we share in common, I am going to make a somewhat off-the-wall recommendation:

Course of Empire

Unfortunately, they have nothing here on last.fm, and can be something of an acquired taste.

If we wanna stay in the new wave (& post-punk, but I'm more into new wave and leaning towards synthpop) category. How about...

Underworld - Underneath the Radar
Freur - Doot-Doot
Rational Youth - both Heredity and Cold War Night Life
The Beloved - Flim Flam

Hard to come up with stuff people wouldn't know already - and isn't finding new music sort of the point :)

Musta Paraati - Peilitalossa

Musta Paraati was a great post-punk band from vzio's native country Finland. Sounds like Joy Division or Lords Of The New Church.
vzio, I didn't find Musta Paraati in your library and i seriously recommend you to check this out and i recommend this as well to everyone in our group.

This band has a page in myspace.com, where you can listen to it, but i can't post the link here. Once i tried to post this link, but singularly this link didn't work.

Anything by the Divine Comedy. My particular favorites of theirs are Absent Friends and Casanova.

I hate to mention Scott Walker again so soon, but if you really like Lee Hazlewood so much I think you'd enjoy Scott 4 in particular.
