Artist Of The Day: Blancmange

 

Listening to Blancmange today.

Wonderful early 80's electronic pop. Loved these records then & still love them today.

From the moody electronica of Running Thin & the excellent I've Seen The Word, to the dancefloor with Feel Me (best heard in Greg Wilson / Derek Kaye version) & Blind Vision (12" extended mix). Sitars & tablas on Top Of The Pops for Living On The Ceiling, & the Mange Tout album is just full of highlights (+ the 12" versions of the singles). 

All brilliant stuff :)

Top marks for the artwork as well, particularly on the first three.

RIP Stephen Luscombe

On This Day - 11th of September 1991

 

On this day… 34 years ago.

11th of September 1991. Flowered Up at The Event, Brighton. Support from Soul Family Sensation & DJ Terry Farley.

Saw Flowered Up a few times, great band, always very vibey. Good times 🔈

It’s On & Weekender (+ Weatherall remixes) are still top tunes 🔈
The Flowered Up album was reissued last year with extra tracks & some new remixes - all good stuff, go check it out 😊
Had a listen to the Soul Family Sensation album earlier, for the first time in many years, enjoyed it 😊
