If you have the time, listen to New Order - Substance, then Cuckoo. I'll profess to my dying day, they were cut from the same rock.

Hmm, actually the comparison with New Order shows (one of) my problem(s) with Curve:

New Order always have a very amateurish charm, no matter how much production they applied (my fav NO album is Power, Corruption and Lies), in contrast Curve sound slick, professional - and generic.
