The Plastics and YMO are great. I liked Frank Chickens too. Used to have an LP by them, but my memories of it are fading.
Elsewhere I mentioned Polysics who are a great current Japanese band heavy on the NW (Devo in particular) influence. Also cool are Spoozys. Similar to Polysics but poppier, less frenetic. Maybe a bit more synth-heavy too.
I am a big fan of early Boredoms stuff and there are two similar bands that mined a little closer to NW territory: Space Streakings and UFO Or Die.
Someone way back on this thread mentioned Buffalo Daughter. I've always wanted to check them out. What do they sound like?
Oh yeah-- NW fans should give 00I00 a listen. It's one of the members of Boredoms and it's quite synthy and cool.
