I love New Order, but they are basically took principles of punk rock music and made them electronic. They do the equivalent of playing power cords. There's a talent to making something catchy. However, I wouldn't describe what they do as displaying musical proficiency. Anyone could play their songs after only a few months of practicing. Whereas true mastery of any musical instrument takes decades.
