"And no-one thinks they are to blame"

Sounding a lot like Depeche Mode's classic Enjoy the silence, with echoes of Faithless' Insomnia, this is, to me, the perfect example of how to fuse guitar and dance music. I wish I could write songs like this.

This song would have been higher placed (possibly number 1 in the list), if it wasn't for the fact that it has been available on the album for nearly a year before it was released as a (download-only) single. The band did not make a promo video for this single, but I did manage to find this footage from 4Music, which shows what an awesome live act they are.
