Someone already mentioned the album Howard Devoto did with the Cocteau
Twins and others (name forgotten), along with the Cure, Joy Division,
Siouxsie & the Banshees, and the Smiths (who offer JD-esque depression
with an almost happy-go-lucky sound; exception:  How Soon is Now?, which
is an incredible neo-psychedelic wash).

There is a new band called Red Lorry Yellow Lorry who are supposed to be
the heirs to JD's crown of ultimate angstmusik.  My friend saw them play
in NYC and liked them a lot (this is a person for whom angstmusik is
everything, from Robert Wyatt to Pere Ubu to Joy Division, thus I'd call
him an authority on the genre).  I don't know if they have a record out
yet, but they are worth looking for.
