Btw, Jilli, do you have an opinion on Xymox? Gary Numan?
They're both good; I don't actually *own* anything by Gary Numan (I keep meaning to buy some of his new stuff that my Evil Queer Stunt-Husband raves about, but haven't gotten around to it yet), and I own one CD by Xymox, back from when they were still known as Clan of Xymox.
Never heard of Xymox but Gary Numan is my all time favourite artist. His '98 album,
Exile
is probably the closest to "goth" that any of his albums have got. Ironically, his eighties albums are more funkier than many so-called funk artists of that period.

That kPunk piece is stunning on Joy Division. I particularly like his description of them and the Fall as a UK equivalent of dub, in contrast to the PIL attempts to create dub.
Now playing: "I Want You" by Lindsey Buckingham. Notable because it has a guitar solo that sounds somewhat like a chicken.
Oh brave new world, that has such technology in it: the Kraftwerk pocket calculator!
By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody!
Just the thing for calculating your mileage on the Autobahn.
Fun fun fun! Mit der Autobahn!
