Blancmange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Blancmange originated in the Arab world where it is known as "mehallabiyyah" (gets eaten quickly, presumably because it is good) and reached medieval Europe through Sicily and Spain. In the 16th century, a meatless version using cream, sugar and eggs was developed, and towards the end of the 17th century, a new kind of blancmange, a calf's foot or hartshorn jelly flavoured with almond and rosewater, and perhaps including milk, was introduced. Blancmange puddings are commonplace in the U.K. and thus unexplained in the sketch. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blancmange   (573 words)

Blancmange - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links Originally called L360, Blancmange received immediate recognition when they sent the song "Sad Day" to DJ Stevo, who added it to a compilation LP of then-unsigned new wave groups including future alternative icons like Depeche Mode and Soft Cell. Later that year, Blancmange's debut album, Happy Families, sold well on the strength of their first Top Ten hit, "Living on the Ceiling," which peaked at number seven in Britain. Blancmange's 1984 LP, Mange Tout, further established the group as one of Britain's most popular electronic artists; however, unlike many of their peers, the band weren't afraid of experimenting with real instruments, incorporating sitars, strings, woodwinds, and horns into their synthesized sound. www.artistdirect.com /nad/music/artist/bio/0,,405057,00.html   (451 words)

Following Blancmange's 1986 split, Luscombe devoted himself to the poly-cultural West India Company, an experimental trio whose 1984 vinyl debut employed the voice of famed Bombay film singer Asha Bhosle.

Blancmange - The Third Course   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) The release of this disc is something of a surprise to be honest - it's not as if there's a desperate shortage of Blancmange compilations, as both the Second Helpings compilation (especially the extended Canadian release) and the 1992 compilation Heaven Knows give good coverage of the band's output. In fact, this new compilation means that there have now been as many Blancmange compilations as albums. I'm not sure who'll buy it though - it's got just enough rare material on it to make it interesting to a small number of serious Blancmange fans but those who're rather less rabid about the group are unlikely to find it worth buying. www.awrc.com /review/b/the_third_course.html   (650 words)

It is also the name of an 80's pop group who it turns out sung a song that I've had bits of going round and round in my mind for the last few days (no idea why, perhaps I caught a few bars of it on the radio).

Columns Posted March 2, 2001 "Blancmange" is a kind of food, more specifically a sort of dessert made with milk and gelatin. Over the years, however, the recipe was simplified, the meat was omitted, and "blancmange" became a dessert.

Ambitiously eclectic at times, Blancmange employed orchestration and raga influences on their second album, Mange Tout, and enjoyed an unlikely hit with a cover version of Abba's "The Day Before You Came". By 1985, the Blancmange experiment had effectively run its course and after a final album, Believe You Me, Luscombe and Arthur went their separate ways. www.bbc.co.uk /radio1/johnpeel/artists/b/blancmange   (181 words)
