Dockland is a chilling, dark piece of music with a haunting, wintry atmosphere. Forever I and I is also pretty damn good, with some nice affecting chords. They both have a bit of early Depeche Mode, but DM could never have brought themselves to make music this starkly beautiful.

Many of these early-80s electronic acts did some fantastic instrumentals that are usually buried on b-sides. This is one of them; I'm hoping to make a list. Others in this style include "The Office" by New Musik and "Somebody Up There Likes You" by Simple Minds.
