Been listening to the new Blancmange album, which is better than I thought it would be with some great tracks on it, "The Western" (which is brilliant and should be a single!), "Drive", "I'm Having A Coffee" and "Radio Therapy" being the highlights.
I saw them live on Saturday - superb gig; Neil Arthur's dry Northern humour in-between the songs and his dad dancing made it for me!
Sadly Stephen Luscombe has been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurism, with complications, that has affected his mobility and requires surgery so was unable to appear - we wished him all the best. This really didn't affect the gig though.
Pandit Dinesh handled percussion, tablas etc and Graham Henderson on synths. They kicked off with new song
I'm Having A Coffee which was very good. Of 'the hits' they played;
Blind Vision,
Waves,
Feel Me,
Living On The Ceiling,
The Game Above My Head,
God's Kitchen and
Don't Tell Me - from memory, there might have been a few more. Of the new ones I can remember
Drive and
Star****er.
