Blancmange - The Very Best Of (2002)
A bit of a delve back into that strange transitional, and often awkward mid-eighties where you find these London knob twiddlers in their prime.
commentsIn hindsight and with a little bit of fact-checking research it seems that they split in 1986 and reformed in 2011 when Neil Arthur took over the name and starting recording solo.
It still sounds like it could have been recorded back in 1982 but with bigger production and fatter synths. Every song is trademark Blancmange and is as comforting as a great big wobbly pudding.

commentsAnother great bargain bin find that helps greatly with my retro-manic obsession. I was listening to these dudes along with Human League, Heaven 17, OMD and god help us all, China Crisis back in the post punk, new wave, serious band transition period!
