Blancmange

I\\u2019m so tall, I\\u2019m so tall. This episode is all about the comeback and consistency. It\\u2019s incredible to think that since they reactivated, Neil Arthur has recorded 10 albums as Blancmange in just over a decade. Beginning as a duo (with Stephan Luscombe)\\xa0 at the dawn of the eighties, their lo-fi experiment electronic pop inspired Mute Records\\u2019 Daniel Miller to call them \\u201cThe Maiden Aunts of Techno\\u201d.\\xa0 Those timeless mega anthems, synonymous with that era like Living On The Ceiling followed, before they called it a day. Then, all of a sudden, 11 years ago, the project materialised again. Paul caught up with Neil, a true eighties survivor on something of a creative roll now.
Blancmange\\u2019s new album Private Life is available on London Records.
