Pet Shop Boys -"My October Symphony". The song has string arrangements that are classical in nature. From the "Behavior" album.

Modern Romance- "High Life"-Latin Salsa fused with new wave.

Everything But the Girl and ABC had both done tours with orchestras, and Siouxsie and the Banshees had mixed orchestration in with remakes of their songs from the Thorn EP.
