i certainly see them as separate bands, even the early NO stuff is way more experimental with synths than JD ever were. that being said, i still think that movement is underrated. it has some good songs, yet it meanders and feels monotone. But how could anyone deny Dreams Never End? that song is better than most of their catalog, in my opinion, and sounds very little like JD
also, I am a big Technique fan, that album has a good balance and pace
