any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there?

great time for music imo. new sounds, edgy but musical and sometime.....downright deep/moving. never got into the really hardcore punk seen. liked the softer side destruction alot better =)

just finished a psychedelic furs binge tonight. had joy division/early new order on all weekend. planning on reminiscing with lou reed/velvet underground and early rem later this week.

haven't really listened to this stuff much in recent memory. not sure why?. i own almost everything these bands ever put out but still rarely give them a turn anymore?.

early furs with all that sax and mr butler's near painful voice =). i'm gonna grab some tickets for their upcoming show at house of blues (chicago). i'm sure it won't be as crazy as the shows back then but the music will still be great. didn't even know they were touring.

really enjoyed joy division and after the death of Ian....early new order stuff. incredible music considering their roots. new order eventually lost their edge but back then....they were it!

any other fans out there?

Tzh21y, your list resembles my CD collection during high-school. Good memories...

This music eventually lead me to the rave seen of the early 90s, when I started DJaying and the discovery of vinyl.

The vinyl lead me to my present audio addicition.

A few month ago I picked-up a 45 rpm Japanese pressing New-Order's Everthing's Gone Green, EP. My old CDs never sound this good.

I'm playing the EP now :)

May I add a few to the list:

Skinny Puppy,
Meat-Beat Manifesto
Psychic TV
Otherwise I think you have the bases covered.

About Ministry, I much prefer the early Ministry (but not too early their first album was scary bad) Twitch and after but later in the nineties they started becoming to heavy metal for my taste and less techno...
