	Blancmange (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Blancmange, pronounced (also known informally as shape), is a jelly dessert made of milk and/or cream, sugar, gelatin or cornstarch, and flavouring (usually almond).
		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 got a push toward success in 1981, when one of their early tracks - "Sad Day" - appeared on the Some Bizarre indie compilation album.
		The LP was put together largely by London band manager/eye for talent Stevo, and featured such little-known London talents as Depeche Mode, the The, B-Movie and Soft Cell.
		Surrounded by such good company, Blancmange had a brief string of hits in the UK, their best chart showing being "Living On The Ceiling," from their debut album, at number seven.

		Unfortunately, in the great explosion of talent, some very good bands were left behind in the frantic lunge for fame and fortune.
		The personnel of the first group that you ever played in were usually the right people because, at that age, you were all of the same basic musical ability and nobody felt as though they were being held back by the others.
		This was when the band started to play as a unit and not a set of individuals.

		Eventually Blancmange faded away, but whenever I feel faintly lovelorn or need to grin 'The Day Before You Came' is something that I listen to.
		I have a sinking feeling that the band didn't take themselves too seriously, which might be a good thing.
		The songs aren't bad, anyway, and to someone who is a conspiracy/Illuminati nut the appeal of a band that keeps mentioning the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu is fairly clear.

		This led to the band being signed by London Records and a synthesizer-based album, "Happy Families", which spawned two Top 10 singles, "Living On The Ceiling" and "Blind Vision", and a further two Top 40 entries with "Waves" and "That's Love, That It Is".
		Ambitiously eclectic at times, Blancmange employed orchestration and raga influences on their second album, Mange Tout.
		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, with Luscombe joining the West India Company.

		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.
		But Blancmange's third album, 1985's Believe You Me, was a flop.

		The move from the independent label, Y Records, to a major, may well be the reason, in that working with a major, the musical as well as financial development of the band has been helped.
		However, there are some bands that you have to admire for their passion and sincerity if for nothing else, like U2.
		According to the band it means everyone will be ripped off, themselves included and considering there was no consultation with Shriekback whatsoever, they disassociate themselves with the product completely.

		Drummer Laurence Stevens was a member of the band for a short while, but they eventually replaced him with a drum machine.
		Signed to London Records, Blancmange released their first two singles, "God's Kitchen" and "Feel Me," in 1982.

	Electronic - Johnny Marr Interview - www.muse.ie
		He was the guitarist for The Smiths, the most fêted British band of the era, "our Beatles" as the NME trumpeted years after the band split up.
		Johnny was the coolest Smith, a true maestro of the six string, studied in his brilliance, magicing up gilded arpeggios while the lead singer pirouetted with a bunch of gladioli stuck down his arse (pocket) and a surly rhythm section pumped out a perfunctory background.
		His plans for getting his own band together are well advanced but it's always seemed like he's happiest with a foil, whether it's the bloke from The Smiths, Hynde or Sumner.

		This is the follow up to their brilliant debut My Diary (both having come out in 2004) and it showcases a band that not only has matured even more than they already were, but it displays a degree of style and "panache" far beyond their years.
		This band could be said to be somewhat reminsicent of them, only more adult in sound, and perhaps sadder due to the use of strings.
		This is one of those bands where there is no middle ground either, the song is either on and rocks or is complete crap.

		I was really getting into synth bands and they wanted to do a lot of covers by Depeche Mode, Heaven 17, Blancmange etc so I was in for sure.
		Soroka: After playing in some of these bands I moved back home, which was Rockford,IL at the time, and a friend and I opened a club which was almost 15,000 square feet, with the main purpose being to have these great, still somewhat unknown, underground type alternative acts play there.
		Soroka: Front 242 was mainly the opening band although we had an opening spot at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago for the Psycadelic Furs.

		What many people didn't know was the band came from a Post-Punk background, having released a couple of singles and a full-length album of stark music that was light on production; although, in three short years the band would jump from style to style, trying to find something that satisfied everyone.
		Clare was allowed to shine with her naturally charming insanity, and the band played equally engaging music to suit it.
		It was clear the band felt the need to grow up, and I can only assume that's what led to the departure of two original members.

		The band 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 such as Depeche Mode and Soft Cell.
		Experimental electro-pop duo Blancmange, comprised of Neil Arthur and Steven Luscombe, was formed in Leeds in 1979.
		The group's first hit, a cover of the Talking Heads song 'Feel Me,' is included in the song list, along with U.K. chart hits 'Living On The Ceiling' and 'Waves.' The excitement of the early days of electro-pop is palpable in this show, which features a seminal group at the top of their game.

		The band was modeled after various US and UK groups such as Herman's Hermits, The Who and The Rolling Stones.
		This album also carried the well-known "Thank You for the Music" that later was released in the UK as a single (1983) and had been a B-side of "Eagle" in territories where that song was released as a single.
		The avant-garde band Blancmange had also covered The Day Before You Came in the mid-1980s, one of the first bands to cover an ABBA track.

		For the Australian band Custard, see Custard (band).
		Custard is a range of preparations based on milk and eggs, thickened with heat.
		Depending on how much egg or thickener is used, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce (crème anglaise), to a thick blancmange like that used for vanilla slice or the pastry cream used to fill éclairs.

		It wasn't as successful as the band had hoped since most of the venues didn't sell out, and due to a lack of demand, ABBA were even forced to cancel a few shows, including a sole scheduled concert in Switzerland.
		In 1976, the band released the somewhat hubristically titled Greatest Hits compilation despite having had only six songs that were Top 40 hits in the UK and the US.
		The ABBA tribute band Björn Again became so successful that as of 2004 there were five casts of Björn Again performing in various parts of the world.

		Although a highly visual band, Visage was not lacking in the musical department, penning some incredibly catchy tunes such as 'Anvil' and their big hit 'Fade to Grey'.
		I first heard this band when I lived Down Under, who at the time had two songs in the top 20 "Fade to Grey" and "Mind of A Toy".
		This band had been the early 80's version of "House music" with the intention of not becoming widely known, but in hopes of setting a new trend in the music scene (aka "New Wave")with an imagery of fantasy romantic style music that is danceable.
