new order isn't techno or trance... and this song was written when most trance producers were in diapers.

BTW the genre for this song is synthpop... the rest of the songs you listed is eurodance

Waits for someone to post Kraftwerk - Radioactivity and call it cheese

Radioactivity is the theme song for the only eletronica radio show we have in my hometown, and they played that in the start of everyshow!!
haha, "Radioaktivitaet" the silly germans.

But synthpop, or new wave, is by far nothing to be ashamed of. I think it was a truly good and sincere musical movement that started off in britain, and did a lot for the scene. I still love new order, simple minds, modern english, and the like. "Cheese" usually has no feeling/emotion; it's empty, and it's like enjoying watching horror films.

And ATB's 9pm is still really good!! ..wasn't it

and I remember one more, this is huge: Aqua - Calling You
how good is the synth bit?? So ashamed though!

Who really cares what is cheeze or not. Every song some one thinks is cheezy another person loves that song. Everybody loves at least one cheeze song so hoo gives what song or how cheezed it is?

I know what you mean. Never listened to Aqua though, couldn't get past that awful tune on the radio, totally killed the eurodance scene for me.

Whenever I hear Kraftwerk I go wow, these are the guys who invented synthpop music. Catchy lyrics & melodies, very simple, but they did it before the 80's and anyone else who thought of the idea to add synthesiser driven pop music to a dance beat.

The three synthpop groups I think are often ignored are Pet Shop Boys, Anything Box & Information Society. Synthpop often stands out against new wave in that there aren't as many guitars and the vocals are more detached/melancolic. Oh and of course it has lots of neat synthwork

Some of the classic cheese had its day. 9pm ('Til I Come), Sandstorm, Better Off Alone, and many others aren't that bad; the rampant airplay just made them so.

But there is one that takes the cake. One debauchery of electronic dance music so low that I feel it is truly a disgrace. One track that is so bad that it seems to have been designed a horrid wretch. The chessiest cheese that ever cheesed. Ever.

Yes, every record of

DJ Jean - The Launch

deserves a ritual burning.

It really is that bad. Really. That. Bad.

I hear it was included on Hell: The Soundtrack.

whats wrong with you people??
every genre has "cheese" tunes.
i know a lot of trance tracks that are being spinned by the big djs and still with its catchy simple melody they are cheese.

most of the songs you mention are COMERCIAL DANCE MUSIC.
some of them are little bit cheesy. Not all of them. They are hard to make as every other music out there.

Cheese is good, some people like simplicity once in a while, some people like catchy tunes also, who are we to critisize. Some of my favorite cheese includes:

Nu Romantix - mad world (Pulsedriver RMX)
Cosmic gate - melt to The Ocean
Lautsprecher - Ritchtig Laut
DJ's @ Work - Someday
4 Clubbers - Children (Future Breexe vs. Junkfood Junkies RMX)

AMEN,brother!

And Rapture is a vewry good tune,it's just too bad that Ministry Of Sound licensed it,pushed it into the charts and it got sooo overplayed.I mean look at all those amazing remixes by Deep Dish,Creamer + K,Riva,Armin etc.I'd bet several ppl on here have danced their asses off to one of these remixes.Rapture is NOT cheese IMO.
