I've been heavily on The Smiths/The Cure/Joy Division/Talk Talk for last 9 months or even more, and recently discovered Cocteau Twins and The Chameleons, another amazing band...I guess The Church and Kate Bush are also something I should check then. Ok, your suggestions on 'intellectual New Wave'?
 What I shouldn't miss?

I guess Cardiacs goes without saying,
other Post-Punk (or New Wave) that might appeal to you: Pere Ubu Family Fodder The Pop Group early Devo The Raincoats Y Pants DNA Liliput James Chance and the Contortions UT early Cabaret Voltaire XTC (first 2 are the more angular albums, afterward more New Wave and pastorale) Minimal Man Public Image Ltd Debris Swell Maps The Birthday Party Television (sort of) Wire Collin Newman (especially the album "A-Z") This Head (mandatory) The Work Massacre (Killing Time album) Skeleton Crew The Slits (sort of) early Killing Joke Alternative TV Chrome Christian Death (first album) Factrix The Homosexuals early Human League Magazine early Soft Cell MX-80 Talking Heads (duh) Depeche Mode (sort of) quite a variety but that should keep you occupied for a while Edited by mithrandir - August 24 2008 at 14:14 |

Someone mentioned Christian Death. While they aren't technically post-punk/new wave, I'd definitely recommend checking them out, especially if you enjoy the Joy Division/The Church type of stuff. Their first album is great, though their second album, "Catastrophe Ballet" is my personally favorite. Musically it shares a lot in common with the darker side of neo-prog (especially Arena). Lots of cool and "spooky" hooks.

I'd say its Post-Punk that overlaps with with the whole Deathrock/Goth movement, kind of like Bauhaus (who I forgot to mention!) Christian Death's Only Theater of Pain, is one of the most twisted and offensive albums ever made! Their other stuff is great too like like Catastrophe Ballet and Ashes, I even like some of the Valor albums like Atrocities, Sex Drugs and Jesus Christ, etc, Christian Death has somewhat of a complicated history though,

How on Earth are The Smiths or Joy Division Prog Related?
Kudos for enjoying The Chameleons though. Amazing band! Edited by Philéas - August 26 2008 at 14:46 |

by parallax view...
... while Joy Division and The Smiths are not remotely Prog in themselves, several bands in Post Rock and Crossover Prog where directly influenced by their sober melancholy and morose outlook and even some Progressive Metal bands have listed both as influence. While I would not go as far as to say that any of the bands suggested here should (or even would be) considered for Prog Related, it is without doubt that they have seriously affected the way in which a lot of later bands developed, including a lot of Progressive bands.

Not an expert on the topic but Drama by Yes, has New Wave influences and it's Prog. Though I'm sure you know that album.
...I have run out of sugestions, since you know, I'm no expert on this topic, I'm quite lost in here actually, I better leave soon, before I get a brain damage.. |

^ stay a while - you can spare a few brain-cells - all "new" music is education, even if you don't like it, but you never know, you just might.
