Interesting you say that because I am a big blancmange fan and also a big yello fan too. Both bands hit a really special spot and both bands have not performed in the UK charts as well as they ought to have done. The songs blancmange have released after around 2010 deserve a great deal more attention. They include a lot of really thoughtful synthpop music and also some true blancange stonkers like "Western" "Paddington" and "What's the time?"

I lived in London when Blancmange was releasing most of their famous tracks, so I didn't know whether they were successful in New York City or anywhere in the US. BUT someone who was living in NYC & going to dance clubs just told me that this song and Living on the Ceiling were HUGE club hits in NYC in the early 80s. Which I was inordinately pleased to learn.

"Blind vision" was a Top 10 hit (hard to believe but true)! Those proclaiming them "one hit wonders" are just ignorant snobs.
@richardrickford3028 2 жыл бұрын
@@user-yc5um2pl5v It actually got to number 10 - the other song besides living on the ceiling to get to top ten status was don't tell me - which got to number eight and has a marvellous video based round a Spanish carnival. Also has this marvellous bit in the instrumental break where Neil says "No" and it starts slow and then gets sped up and he also goes "I can't get a grip on - no no can't get a grip on". That part of don't tell me reaches its full potential on the awesome 12 inch version. If you ask me Blind Vision should have penetrated much deeper into the top ten. The sense of phobia and torment in the song - along with its simple but deeply wonderful keyboard melody are deeply arresting. I start to really feel like someone who is getting emotionally locked in because their sight is failing. Although the blindness could easily be metaphorical too.

@richardrickford3028 11 ай бұрын
@@jefflugg7815 I think you are absolutely right. I think of especially catchy songs from the Blancmange Renaissance from 2010 like Western and Paddington. Also "Acid tongue" has a wonderful catchy dark vibe to it. And looking to more recent albums songs like What's the Time and Some Times these still show Neil Arthur at the top of his game. The Albums these came from - Blancburn, Semi Detached, Unfurnished Rooms and a Private View deserved much more attention than they have had. But what I very much enjoy about Blancmange as well as the wonderful strangeness of some of their lyrics is the often dead pan sense of humour which can show signs of really grim fun. I hope Neil Arthur and the musicians supporting him never retire.
