No, [she’s Scottish](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll).

**Acsenray** , can you tell us what suggestions made so far _do_ fit your list? So far you’ve named Depeche Mode, Berlin, and the Squeeze (= Paul Carrack’s Squeeze, right?).

Where do guys like Thomas Dolby and Howard Jones fit in? Yaz? New Order?
