Genre: Rock
London Records present a limited-edition vinyl boxset of Blancmange's first three albums: Happy Families (1982), Mange Tout (1984), and Believe You Me (1985). Each release includes the original album (remastered), plus B-sides, extended versions, remixes, previously unreleased tracks and demos. Happy Families, released in 1982, feels like a fully-formed electronic pop classic. Highlights include "Living On The Ceiling" (a striking #7 hit in '82 thanks to it's mix of electronics with tabla and sitar), the melancholia of "Waves", the call-and-response electro-funk of "Feel Me", the intense "I Can't Explain", and "God's Kitchen", which is an early example of Neil Arthur's gift with images and wordplay. Blancmange's second album, Mange Tout, reached #8 in the UK charts in 1984 and spawned more hits - notably "Blind Vision" (#10), "Don't Tell Me" (#8), and their fantastic cover of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came" (much loved by ABBA who let them use footage from their original video for the Blancmange promo). It signals another change for the band's music, now increasingly built around deep, propulsive dance grooves. The third and final Blancmange album of the 1980s, Believe You Me, was released in 1985 and features bitter-sweet pop songs such as "Lose Your Love", "Don't You Love It All", and "What's Your Problem". Remastered audio; vinyl boxset with artwork slipcase holding all three albums; each album is a double 12" on black vinyl, and comes in gatefold sleeve with printed inner-sleeves; download card included."Listening to Blancmange obsessively. Probably the most under-rated electronic act of all time." -Moby
