She had a car accident a week ago and spends most of the day in bed and I want to give her a cd to get her distracted. She loves that sort of moody 80's music and she very rarely listens to anything else. There's this particular sound she loves but can't quite pin its name. I'll try to describe it with examples: I know she likes songs like Duran Duran - Come Undone and Simple Minds - Hypnotized. She loves Depeche Mode but she hates 'I just can't get enough'. Played Infinity by the XX on her house a few days ago and she loved it, says the guitar reminds her of 'wicked game'. Also played Hurts - Beautiful Life as I thought it might be up her alley and she liked that one too.

I'll add M83's Graveyard Girl to HI DERE's Kim & Jessie suggestion.
If she's not enough of a DM stan to have Martin Gore's Counterfeit, throw in Compulsion.
