<p>Blancmange is a British synth-pop duo formed in London in 1979. Consisting of Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe, they achieved success in the early to mid-1980s with hits like "Blind Vision," "Don't Tell Me," and "Living On The Ceiling." Despite their initial popularity decline and the disappointing performance of their third album, "Believe You Me," Blancmange reformed in 2006. They released a new album titled "Blanc Burn" in 2011 but Luscombe left due to health issues. Since then, Neil Arthur has continued to perform under the Blancmange name.</p>

<p>after 25 years blancmange return! the sound of the album's as familiar as the cover. there's old school synths, a welcome dash or two of asian spice and the kind of blunt, down to earth lyricism that made the band such a breath of fresh air back in the 80's. if you're looking for a classic like 'living on the ceiling' make a beeline for 'the western'. bringing the band's trademark fusion of synth pop and asian percussion well and truly out of retirement (courtesy of their original spice boy pandit dinesh) it's a surefire single and one of the album's undisputed highlights. elsewhere you can almost imagine neil pottering around the house singing some of these tracks, with stephen sitting in the kitchen surrounded by vintage synths held together with sticky tape. it's got a delightfully homespun feel to it in places.</p>
