Frozen Autumn, huh? Nice stuff. (And since my last vist, 270 updated threads, 200 were skipped because they were Philip bumping his own threads, and yours was the only one with something actually new. It was worth it. But man, I wish I didn't have to spend half my time every vist wading through the spam.)

- Neon Judgement, Chinese Black
Neon Judgement goes back to 1981, although the video linked is more of a 1989 thing. I think you'll enjoy it.

There was a whole late-80s/early-90s thing called New Beat where Belgium went kinda nuts. They took a few riffs from wherever they could find them, then used a bass-heavy backbeat and slowed down the tempo.

- Explorers of the Nile, We Are All Egyptians (1988)

- Opium Monks, Secrets of Africa (1988)
If you like that sort of mix of various melodies against generally the same sort of bass/backbeat/tempo, you'll like just about anything returned by a search for New Beat. It's almost 100% dance-oriented; the lyrics are rarely more than a few words repeated, rather than goth/wave/industrial where they actually wrote lyrics, but you might find some gems out there. It was very closely aligned with EDM - imagine the instrumental portion of a typical Front 242 track slowed down by about 20% and you've got the right idea.
