Honestly, I probably would've liked Tokyo Story more if I saw it earlier in life and hadn't seen so many brutal 70s Bergman films. In comparison, Tokyo Story seems quaint, though Ozu's Ford-esque camerawork is sublime.
Sure, I see our music tastes are complementary ;) And my favourite band is almost your favourte ;) That's a good reason to be friends :P
For me "Electric" is something I've been waiting since "Very". Powerful house record - great melodies, great tempos and some outstanding lyrics. Hope it will grow on you...I'm sure it will.
Hey, sorry for the late response, I don't check my comment box often (normally because nobody comments in it normally LOL). I would say that Assemblage 23 is the only band comparable to VNV Nation. It seems you heard their album Meta, but I would recommend the album Storm, which is easily their best album. Also, yes, I'm fine with being friends on here, you have good taste.
