Low Life is a great album, but I don't think theres a yes to your question 
Hello, everyone, it's nice to be here
I've come so far to see you all
I can see your deep blue eyes
They sleep beneath the open sky
Before you stands one like your brother
Swear to God he needs no other
But how can I afford to be
Here with you so carelessly
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life we need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this I wish I had
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Well we had a party in our hotel last night
It ended up in an awful fight
My friend left me and my heart too
I hope I don't end up like you
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
Your country is a wonderful place
It pales my England into disgrace
To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable
I think I'll go there when it gets seasonable
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life you need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this I wish I had

Kaiser Chiefs is brilliant but doesn't answer your question...
Electronic are pretty much the same as (later) New Order, seeing as Bernard Sumner is a member, along with the other New Order spin-offs. Get both Joy Division albums if you like Movement. Actually, get them anyway. You could also try Depeche Mode, Violator is probably their strongest effort. I'll doubtless think of some more later on, when I'm not trying to look like I'm doing some work.

I would suggest a band called the Go-Betweens, sort of an 80s feel to them.
The other disk I just got that I've been playing a lot is the Decemberists.

Try DAF (Deutsche Amerkansche Feundshafte or something similar) who were a german duo who made music in a similar area. Albums on Mute and Virgin.

Editors is very Joy Division-esque with a contemporary feel (sh*t I sound like a NME review!).
Oh yeah, should have paid more attention to the time period, they are 2005 I'm afraid - but still worth a listen.

You may also like the very early Simple Minds efforts.

I'd recommend Associates, start with 'Sulk' (there most commercial) which has the awesome Party Fears Too on it then listen to 'Fourth Drawer Down'. The The's 'Soul Mining' is fantastic and as somebody has mentioned Joy Division LP's Unknown Pleasures, Closer and the compilation Permanent which will probably have Transmission on it (and also to see where the Editors got all their ideas from). Neither New Order or Joy Division bothered releasing singles off LPs in their early days. Early OMD up to about Dazzleships may be worth checking out, as is the first few Human League LPs (Reproduction, Travelogue and Dare).

Anyone else know that brilliant band?
'Phoenix of My Heart" was a bit disappointing, but the rest of their stuff was top notch.

Its great.
Blood and Munich are amazing tracks. Near perfect.
To fully appreciate them though you have to see them live.

The Editors haven't a single original idea on that album - if you're going to be influenced by something it is best not to copy it. Interpol did a better job than The Editors. Unless they change their musical direction The Editors will be lucky to produce more than two albums before they disappear.
