Best synth/guitar/bass lines ?
Yadda yadda yadda, it's well kown that the secret of a great new wave track is it's use of TUNED PERCUSSION!
I'm talking xylophone, glockenspeils etc.
Some of my favourites:
Hong Kong garden by Siouxsie and the Banshees;
Love my Way by the Psycadelic Furs;
Miss th girl by the Creatures;
and not forgetting the grand tradition of synths mimmicking the above instruments:
The opening of Uncertain Smile; Lot's of Japan circa Tin Drum.
I'm sure there are many undiscovered entries in the pantheon of "Tuned Percussion in New Wave".
Let's here 'em !

There's a sort of steel drum riff in the background of Steinwolke's "Katherine Katherine." during the instrumental section.
