Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe from 80s synthpop band Blancmange
Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe, who are 80s-synthpop duo Blancmange.
Mark and Stuart are joined by Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe, who are 80s-synthpop duo Blancmange. Forming in 1979, creating weird and slightly 'battered' homemade 'cassette tape' music with vacuum cleaners and kitchen utensils, they rose to fame when their track 'Sad Day' appeared on a record label's compilation sampler, called Some Bizzare Album [sic] (which also featured future alternative icons like Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and The The). Their breakthrough album was Happy Families, their 1982 release with now-classic Blancmange tracks - Living on the Ceiling, God's Kitchen, I Can't Explain - and they're here to talk about their very latest album, plus re-released albums and forthcoming tour.
As well as this, there's the never-ending feature The Chain - which links together one record to another using YOUR suggestions - and Teatime Themetime, when you pit your musical wits to be first past that Chocolate Bourbon post and gain glory round the office biscuit barrel. AND if that weren't enough - we bring you the latest updates in the world of rock and pop in today's Music News.
