Oh hang on, some research reveals that the awesome song I thought was 'Temptation' is by Heaven 17! But more research indicates that the New Order one is also awesome.

Temptation is the best New Order song, it's absolutely perfect.

I've no idea whats going to win this though - its very tough up there.
